Who can sign?
During estate administration, the personal representative—the person appointed to handle the estate—can generally sell estate real property at a public or private sale without a separate court order, on fair and reasonable terms. The will or an order in a formal court proceeding can limit that authority. If the will specifically leaves the house to someone, the personal representative's general sale power does not cover that property. Read the Colorado probate statutes →

Colorado deed documentary fee
Colorado does not charge its state deed documentary fee when consideration is $500 or less. Above $500, it is 1¢ for each $100 or major fraction of consideration, including specified liens, charges, and conveyance expenses. State law makes the person offering the deed for recording responsible for the fee; the contract can allocate reimbursement. County recording charges are separate, and a city or county charge may also apply based on the property's location. Read Colorado's deed-fee statute →
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs.
