How do I get a copy of a will in Larimer?▼
To get a copy of a will in Larimer County, Colorado (Fort Collins area), three steps. (1) **Find the probate case** at the **Colorado Judicial Branch case search** at https://www.coloradojudicial.gov/courts-records-search — search by decedent's name; covers Larimer County District Court probate cases (8th Judicial District). Returns case number, executor/personal representative, asset summary, and document docket.

(3) **Court records**: Colorado Judicial Branch at https://www.coloradojudicial.gov/courts-records-search (Denver District) and **Denver County Court** at https://www.denvercountycourt.org (separate system for misdemeanors and traffic). Civil and criminal filings often surface name + address. (4) **Voter registration**: Colorado Secretary of State 'Find My Registration' at https://www.coloradosos.gov/voter — confirms registration status; residential address NOT publicly displayed but can be released to authorized requesters via a public-records request to the Denver Elections Division.
