ANNOTATION
No authority to set aside divorce decree. Constitutional and statutory provisions vest in the probate court the authority to decide, inter alia, matters relating to the probate of wills. They do not, however, confer authority upon the probate court to disregard the rules relating to collateral attacks on judgments and to set aside a divorce decree of a district court which has jurisdiction of the parties and of the subject matter. In re Estate of Bonfils, 190 Colo. 70, 543 P.2d 701 (1975).
