CO SB133

Expands who can use simplified property transfer procedures by allowing "persons who may be affected by ownership" to petition for heirship determination, not just direct heirs and devisees.

Allows a single petition to address multiple decedents if their property interests are related by succession, streamlining probate proceedings for connected estates.

Requires legal descriptions for real property in heirship petitions and decrees, and mandates that certified copies of decrees affecting real property be recorded in county clerk and recorder offices.

Modifies notice and service requirements to include publication in newspapers in all counties where real property is located, with service deadlines of 21-35 days before hearing depending on service method.

Permits courts to enter judgments without a hearing if no objections are timely filed and served, and allows modification of decrees within one year by persons not properly served, except where good faith purchasers have acquired property rights.
