How Long Does Probate Take in Iowa?

In many cases, the probate process for an estate is finalized within a year.  Of course, this timeframe can vary depending on the complexity and size of the estate. For smaller estates, the process is shorter and and may be completed more quickly.  

Iowa law does require the estate to be resolved within three years after the second publication of the notice to creditors.  Under certain circumstances, a judge could extend this time, but that is certainly not the typical timeline of most estates.
