Estate Planning Checklist: A 10-Step Guide Assemble a team. Outline your wishes in your estate planning documents. Establish guardianship for your dependents. Consider trusts. Plan for federal and/or state estate taxes. Avoid probate. Prepare for long-term care. Consider income in respect of a decedent (IRD) taxes.
Key Takeaways. Probate in Iowa involves administering estates, settling debts, and distributing assets post-death, under court supervision. Small estates under $50,000 and specific assets may avoid probate; a will directs asset distribution and minimizes taxes.
Although you are not legally required to have an attorney write and help you execute a will, the assistance of an attorney can help ensure that the will is valid and your estate will be distributed as you desire.
To be classified as a small estate, the gross value of the probate assets of a decedent must be $200,000 or less. The administration of a small estate has less requirements, lower court costs, and often is a quicker process than a regular probate administration.
Probate laws are designed to protect the rights of heirs and creditors and to assure the orderly collection, preservation, and transfer of property. If you die with an ownership interest in any property, your estate generally must be probated whether you have a will or not.
