Is it legal to disinherit your spouse in Colorado?

Answer:

Answer

In Colorado, you cannot disinherit a spouse. A spouse who receives very little under the terms of a will can make a claim for an elective share instead. The elective share for any surviving wife or husband will depend on the length of the marriage and reaches a limit of about half of the estate for marriages of ten years or more.
