Fort Dodge Legal Blog | Personal Injury | Probate and Estates

Under the Fort Dodge Municipal Code and similar Municipal Codes throughout Iowa, residents are required to remove snow and ice from the sidewalks abutting their property within 24 hours of the cessation of the snowfall or ice formation.
 

Under Iowa law, if the original Will cannot be located, even though you may have a copy, the law includes a presumption that the decedent intentionally destroyed the Will for the purpose of revoking it. 

Generally, under Iowa law an individual must bring a lawsuit within two years of their accident or personal injury or the claim is forever barred. 

In Iowa, if you die without a valid will, the distribution of your property and assets will be based on Iowa law, regardless of what you may have desired.
