Supporting the Legal Needs of Iowans

Many do not think to plan until it is too late. If you were to suddenly become unable to communicate, who would take care of your day-to-day affairs?

Our Cedar Rapids estate planning attorneys can assist you with:

  • Estate Planning. We are committed to helping Iowans protect themselves and their loved ones through proactive, effective planning. We also believe that it is never too early to start estate planning, as the institution’s tools can often work to protect those who are young and healthy. Our firm can assist with the creation, review, and updating of a wide variety of estate planning tools, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, conservatorships, guardianships, advanced healthcare directives, and more.
  • Trust Administration. Trusts can be tremendously useful tools to protect wealth from probate and taxation, but they also require sufficient levels of maintenance and administration. Many grantors choose to operate as their own trustees while they are alive, but a successor trustee will need to be appointed once you become unable to communicate or pass away. Our firm can take some of the guesswork and risks out of choosing the appropriate successor trustee. We can work to ensure the efficient management of the trust and the prompt distribution of assets in accordance with your wishes.

Practice Areas Continued

  • Probate. Every estate will need to go through some manner of probate. Many understandably seek to avoid probate as much as possible, as the process is notorious for delays and ballooning costs that can quickly decimate an otherwise healthy estate. We can help you proactively minimize probate’s impact on your assets through estate planning as well as help you resolve conflicts that emerge during the process. If you have been appointed as an executor or administrator to a loved one’s estate, you will be expected to handle numerous complex responsibilities in tallying and appraising their assets, notifying the appropriate parties, settling debts, and distributing assets. Our team is familiar with the ins and outs of Iowa probate and can help you efficiently and accurately manage your role as personal representative.
  • Estate Disputes. Conflicts often emerge during the probate process, especially when a loved one’s livelihood is on the line. These types of disputes often involve objecting to the legitimacy of a last will and testament, and the probate process – as well as any distribution of assets -w ill not be able to continue until they are resolved. We can assist you in navigating probate disputes involving wills. Our team can also help you with disputes involving the management of trusts, conservatorships and guardianships, those breaching their fiduciary duties, and elder abuse.
  • Medicaid Planning and Elder Law. Long-term care can be outrageously expensive in Iowa, leaving seniors looking to explore nursing homes or assisted living care in a tough spot. Many worry they will need to effectively liquidate their retirement savings and nest eggs to fund late-in-life care, consequently denying their children and loved ones any access to the wealth that they worked hard to build. We can help you avoid this unfortunate scenario by avoiding alternative solutions that can accommodate the rising costs of long-term care. This includes exploring eligibility for Medicaid, the government benefits program that can cover many long-term care expenses.
