Boulder County, Colorado Probate Court Fee Book, 1874-1890: An Annotated Index

by Dina C Carson

Overview

The Boulder County, Colorado Probate Court Fee Book, 1874-1890 records the fees paid to and by the estates of the probate cases listed in the book. The records show the names of the deceased and the administrators or executors of the estate along with the judges and clerks who recorded each transaction. Oftentimes, guardians were assigned to children under the age of 14 even if a parent was still living to ensure that any inheritance was protected and preserved for the child. Minors over the age of 14 had the right to request their own guardian. The journal also shows the names of debtors who owed an estate money, and the creditors who were paid by the estate.

About the Author

Dina C. Carson is the coordinator for the Boulder Pioneers Project. The goal of the Boulder Pioneers Project is to establish which individuals, organizations and businesses were in Boulder County prior to Colorado's statehood (1 Aug 1876) based upon original documents, newspaper articles, published accounts, eye-witness journals and other reliable sources. We are searching online and at archives and libraries around the state, region and country and will publish the indices for the sources we have used.
