Colo. R. Civ. P. 370

As amended through Rule Change 2024(9), effective May 2, 2024
Rule 370 - Judgment for Specific Acts; Personal Property

If a judgment directs a party to execute a transfer of documents or to perform any other specific act and the party fails to comply within the time specified, the court may direct the act to be done at the cost of the disobedient party by some other person appointed by the court and the act when so done has like effect as if done by the party on application of the party entitled to performance, the clerk shall issue a writ of attachment against the property of the disobedient party to compel obedience to the judgment. The court may also in proper cases adjudge the party in contempt.

If personal property is within the state, the court in lieu of directing a transfer thereof may enter a judgment divesting the title of any party and vesting it in others and such judgment has the effect of a transfer executed in due form of law. When any order or judgment is for the delivery of possession, the party in whose favor it is entered is entitled to a writ of execution upon application to the clerk.
