The information here can be used to assist buyers and sellers with the assignment by owner area on the back of the current Colorado Certificate of Title. Older versions, or titles from other states have different formats and may vary from what’s shown here. If you’re unsure of how to complete the title assignment, please contact our office for guidance. Errors made on this document can cause long delays and in some situations, a duplicate title may be required.

This information will explain the process and requirements used to change the name of an existing owner on your Certificate of Title. 

When the title is in the ownership of one person, and that person is deceased, a court order appointing a personal representative is required. The person appointed "personal representative" must then sign the title as seller. The court order must be presented, with the original death certificate and title, to our office to transfer the title to new ownership.

This information will explain the process and requirements used to add or remove an owner on your Certificate of Title. 

The following processes can be completed in person by appointment only.  You may book an appointment at larimer.org/bookatime.

 
Please feel free to contact our office with any questions you may have.
