How Much Does a Will Cost in Iowa

Creating a Last Will and Testament is one of the simplest and most effective steps you can take in estate planning.  A Will specifies who receives your property after your death, who will care for your minor children, who will act as the executor of your estate, and more.  Without a Will, these decisions and the distribution of your property will be left to the default rules set by the Iowa legislature.

So, how much does it cost to create a Will?  At Crimmins & Kehm Law Firm, we offer a flat fee of $200 for a Last Will and Testament.  That fee includes consultation with one of our attorneys to discuss your specific needs and ensure your Will is drafted to your situation. 

If necessary, the fee also includes trust provisions within your Will.  For example, if you plan to leave an inheritance to minor children or grandchildren, we can include provisions to establish a testamentary trust.  This trust would allow a trustee to manage their inheritance until they reach an age when you believe they’re ready to receive and handle it on their own.

For more information or if you have any questions about creating or revising your Will or Estate Plan, contact the Crimmins & Kehm Law Firm at 515-573-2191.
