History
Source: Entire chapter amended and adopted June 28, 2018, effective September 1, 2018. COMMENTS Note that Colorado Bar Association Real Es- tate Title Standard 11.1.7 discusses certain re- quirements for the vesting of merchantable title in a distributee. A court order is necessary to vest merchantable title in a distributee, free from the rights of all persons interested in the estate to recover the property in case of an improper distribution. This rule requires a no- tice and hearing procedure as a condition of issuance of such order. A certified copy of the court’s order should be recorded with the deed of distribution. Under the title standard, an or- der is not required to vest merchantable title in a purchaser for value from or a lender to such distributee. See § 38-35-109, C.R.S.
