For Colorado estate tax purposes, no credit for taxes is allowable in determining such federal credit under this subsection (2) other than the unified credit.

(3) Property located in Colorado of an alien includes real property situated in this state held in trust or otherwise; tangible personal property which has an actual situs in this state; and intangible personal property if the physical evidence of such property is located within this state or if such property is directly or indirectly subject to protection, preservation, or regulation under the laws of this state, to the extent such property is included in the decedent's gross estate.
