BB. A property is sold through a public trustee foreclosure sale in Colorado✓ Correct
CC. A court orders a property sold in a divorce proceeding
DD. A surviving joint tenant takes ownership after a co-owner's death

In Colorado's non-judicial foreclosure process, the public trustee conducts the sale and issues a 'public trustee's deed' (or trustee's deed) to the successful bidder at the foreclosure sale.
