Colorado Revised Statutes Title 38. Property Real and Personal § 38-43-108. Disposition of proceeds

The proceeds of sale, and the reversion subject to any such lease for the development of minerals, including oil, gas, and other natural resources, or any of them, together with the proceeds, rentals, and royalties accruing from any such lease, shall, in all respects, be substituted for and stand in place of the property so leased, as regards the ownership and enjoyment thereof, and all persons shall have the same estates or interests, vested, contingent, or executory in such proceeds of sale, or in the reversion subject to any such lease, together with the proceeds, rentals, and royalties accruing from any such lease as they had or would have had in the property so leased. The proceeds of sale or bonus and rentals payable under the terms of such lease coming into the hands of the trustee may be paid, under proper order of court, to the life tenant or other person entitled thereto. Under proper order of court, the trustee shall be authorized to invest and reinvest funds and income from royalties coming into his hands in such securities as fiduciaries are authorized to invest the moneys in their custody, which investments shall remain intact until the ultimate taker is determined and shall then be paid over to such ultimate taker as ordered by the court and the trust closed. Income from investments shall be paid to the life tenant or other person entitled thereto under proper order of court. The court shall make all proper orders and decrees for the faithful application of the funds and for the management and preservation of any property or securities in which the same may be invested for the protection of the rights of all persons having any estate or interest in the leased property, whether vested, contingent, or executory.
