Gov. Ritter signs HB 1260


After successfully passing the Colorado State Legislature with bipartisan support, Governor Bill Ritter signed HB 1260, The Designated Beneficiaries Act, into law today.

Special thanks to Rep. Mark Ferrandino and Sen. Jennifer Veiga for sponsoring this key piece of legislation.

This bill provides the opportunity for two unmarried adults to designate one another as the person entitled to certain financial protections and decision-making powers in major life events by simply recording a form with the County Clerk & Recorder’s Office and paying a small fee.
