The will must be in writing, signed by you, and either witnessed by two people or acknowledged by a notary public. The Colorado Uniform Wills Act outlines formalities for electronic wills as well, which have similar requirements.
A will in Colorado can be invalidated for lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence, improper execution, or a failure to comply with statutory requirements.
