What happens if I don’t do estate planning?

The state of Colorado decide things for you by using a chart that decides who gets your stuff among close relatives, spouse, etc.  It takes longer, but someone volunteers to file probate and then they and the court follow the chart.   Still, if you have a significant other you want to inherit, or you want an agent to speak for you if you’re really ill, or other issues the state of Colorado doesn’t deal with or would get wrong, best to get a free legal consult and make the decisions yourself.
