We Are Probate Lawyers Here To Help

Probate is one of the most challenging aspects of the law, and you probably don’t know much about it. Probate is the process in which you pay the debts and distribute assets after a person’s death. Almost every estate goes through probate court, which means that you need a confident, assured probate attorney on your side.

We know the law, and we know how to make the challenges for our clients easier. Your peace of mind and success will be our guiding lights, and we will work hard to secure the outcome you want.

What Makes Probate Such A Challenge?

Probate is challenging for two reasons: the complexity of the law and the nature of the disputes in probate. Probate law and probate court in Iowa are different from those in other civil court proceedings. The code that governs probate is technical and exact, as are all the issues that can arise.

However, the disputes are always some of the most emotionally fraught ones within families. They can involve the following and more:

• Undue influence
• Fraudulent wills
• Executor breach of duty
• Unclear will terms

Families tend to get extremely vitriolic in probate disputes, and these challenges amplify the pressure on these complex laws.

Can You Avoid Probate?

In Iowa, it is possible to avoid probate with extensive, thorough estate planning. By taking assets out of the estate through trusts or the use of accounts with beneficiaries, you reduce what will go through probate and, therefore, minimize the process.

However, probate cannot be avoided once a person is deceased when a plan is not in place or there is a dispute about the will.
