Our Estate Planning Services

At our firm, we provide a wide range of estate planning services. We draft trusts and wills, as well as designate beneficiaries for life insurance or other assets. We also handle powers of attorney, guardianships, and healthcare directives/living wills.

Sometimes estate planning goes beyond the need for a simple will. We also have the resources to handle more complex matters, like estate planning for family farms and other small businesses, where taxation issues may be a special concern.

In addition to helping individuals create estate plans, we also assist clients in navigating the Iowa probate process. Probate is the formal process of distributing an estate following the death of an individual. In Iowa, probate may occur either with or without the existence of a will; other factors—such as the size of the estate, the type of assets, how assets were owned, and whether or not there are any claims against the estate—play a role in whether or not probate is required.
