We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Should a married couple with no kids have a will?

You definitely need to have a Will if you want your partner to have your assets. If you have no Will, if you are in the US, your assets will be distributed according to the law in your state. Your estate will be Intestate (no Will). No where in a listing have I ever found where a ``partner would be included.

Does a childless couple need a trust?

Couples without children may want to leave their assets to organizations that have impacted their lives, such as charities, religious groups, or their alma maters in addition to their family members and friends. Trusts can ensure these assets are distributed according to their wishes.

How much does it cost to set up a trust in Iowa?

Creating a living trust in Iowa occurs when you create a trust document and sign it in front of a notary public. You then transfer ownership of your assets into the trust to complete the process. A living trust is a useful way to maintain control over your assets and plan for the future.

Do I need a trust if I dont own anything?

You dont absolutely need a trust, a will is enough. Wills have to be probated to have any effect, and there is a degree of court supervision. That involves bureaucratic delays and costs, at a stressful time. A trust, on the other hand, usually has no court involvement. The stress and costs are up-front before death.

How does a living trust work in Iowa?

If you are married and a California resident, and you own a home, you will need a joint revocable living trust as the primary document in your California estate plan. Since you are a California resident, most, if not all of your assets will be community property.
