The 4th Judicial District, consisting of the counties of El Paso and Teller, is accepting applications for the appointment of a Public Administrator. A Public Administrator is a person appointed by the court in the judicial district who is available to serve as a personal representative, conservator, trustee, or other fiduciary. A Public Administrator may be appointed in some probate cases when no person is willing or able to serve as a fiduciary, or when the current fiduciary is not performing adequately and must be removed. To be eligible to serve as a Public Administrator, the statute requires a person to be a qualified elector at least 21 years old and to reside or maintain a principal business in the judicial district to which they are appointed. A Public Administrator is not an employee of either the State of Colorado or of the judicial district or the city or county in which the person has been appointed. The person appointed as the Public Administrator shall serve at the pleasure of the appointing district until discharged by the district or until such person’s resignation is accepted by the appointing district.
