Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Colorado

Re: question about will

No, this is not possible and if you insist on doing it, the provision will be disregarded. You are advised to seek the advice of an experienced trusts and estates lawyer before you proceed further.

Dear LawGuru User:

Provisions in wills regarding disposition of remains such as burial and cremation are quite common. However, it is not uncommon for personal representatives to disregard such provisions due to the wishes of surviving loved ones.

Any plan in a will that deals with disposal of remains must be legal. I do not believe that your plan is legal, but further research would be needed in order for me to respond with certainty.

Even if your plan was legal, it would be up to the personal representative to carry it out. Fulfillment by your representative of a bizarre though legal request, given the inevitable pressure from loved ones, is unlikely.

Sincerely,

Louise Aron
