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. (2) **Order the will copy** at the **Larimer Combined Courts Probate Division** at 201 LaPorte Ave, Fort Collins CO 80521, phone (970) 494-3500. **Document copy fees** under C.R.S. § 13-32-104: **$0.25 per page** non-certified; **$20 plus $0.25/page** for certified. **In-person review at the courthouse is FREE** — Colorado allows public-access terminals at the Clerk's office; you only pay for copies. (3) **Probate filing fees** for context (Colorado): **$199** for opening informal probate (Colorado uses the Uniform Probate Code under C.R.S.

(2) **Colorado Secretary of State business search** at https://www.coloradosos.gov/biz/BusinessEntityCriteriaExt.do — useful if the person is an LLC owner, registered agent, or officer. (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. (5) **Denver Sheriff Inmate Search** at https://denvergov.org/inmatesearch/ if currently detained. (6) **Sex-offender registry** (Colorado SOR) at https://apps.colorado.gov/apps/dps/sor/ — last known address for registered offenders.
