Colorado Revised Statutes Title 15. Probate, Trusts, and Fiduciaries § 15-10-305. Records and certified copies

(1) The clerk of each court shall keep for each decedent, ward, protected person, or trust under the court's jurisdiction a record of any document which may be filed with the court under this code, including petitions and applications, demands for notices or bonds, trust registrations, and of any orders or responses relating thereto by the registrar or court, and establish and maintain a system for indexing, filing, or recording which is sufficient to enable users of the records to obtain adequate information. Upon payment of the fees required by law the clerk must issue certified copies of any probated wills, letters issued to personal representatives, or any other record or paper filed or recorded. Certificates relating to probated wills must indicate whether the decedent was domiciled in this state and whether the probate was formal or informal. Certificates relating to letters must show the date of appointment.

(2) All instruments purporting to be the original wills, upon presentation for probate thereof, shall be recorded by the clerk of the court, in a well-bound book, to be provided by him for that purpose, or photographed, microphotographed, or reproduced on film as a permanent record, and shall remain and be preserved in the office of the clerk of the court. Upon admission of such will to probate, such record shall be sufficient, without again recording the same in the records of the clerk of the court.
