Wills – Last Will and Testament in Colorado

If you don’t make a plan, the state will make one for you. A legally valid will gives you the power to decide how your assets are passed down—and who takes care of what—when the time comes. At Trace Tyler Law in Grand Junction, we help individuals and families put their wishes in writing with straightforward, flat-fee will preparation you can feel confident about.

Why You Need a Will

It’s not just for the wealthy. A will ensures that your assets—home, savings, personal belongings—go to the people you choose, not whoever Colorado law assigns.


Without a will, the Colorado intestacy statutes take over. That means your estate will be distributed by the court system, often in ways that don’t reflect your values or family needs. It can also create confusion and conflict for your loved ones.


In Mesa County and across the Western Slope, having a valid will gives your family clarity—and keeps your wishes at the center of every decision.

What Goes Into a Proper Will

Every will we draft includes the key elements Colorado law requires, tailored to your specific situation:


  • Executor designation – the person who carries out your wishes
  • Beneficiaries – who receives your property
  • Guardianship instructions – for minor children if applicable
  • Specific gifts – leave cherished items or charitable gifts intentionally
  • Contingency planning – backup plans in case your first choices can’t serve


You’ll have the opportunity to review everything, ask questions, and make sure your intentions are crystal clear.
