Estate Planning Documents are legal instruments that help your family and the Court, in certain situations, determine how you would like your affairs handled when you are unable to manage on your own. Ideally, the planning documents you have created will ease a difficult time in your family’s lives. It is very important to ensure that everything is executed in the legally required manner or the documents will not be effective.
In some families, loans and monetary gifts are presented to the children and often times this may lead to dispute if not kept equal. If it's not clear whether the money is a loan or a gift, conflicts can arise if the parent dies and their estate enters probate. If it's not in writing, the beneficiaries are left to figure it out on their own, or the court must step in and decide.
In cases in which probate is required, the executor of the estate or the next of kin cannot take the actions necessary to administer the estate without the authority granted by the probate court. Probate is a complicated process that requires executors to prepare forms, meet deadlines, keep records, generate reports, submit filings to the court, and serve notices to creditors, heirs and local newspapers.

Default judgments are commonplace in Iowa. Default judgements exist so that, if one party does not participate in the case after being served with notice, the case will not extend an unreasonably long time. In Iowa, the civil original notice must state that judgment by default may be rendered for the relief demanded in the petition if the Respondent fails to file a motion or answer within (normally) 20 days.

The pressure of student loan debt isn't limited to new grads. Americans fifty and older make up roughly twenty percent of those paying down student loans. The number of people sixty and older with student loan debt has grown faster than any other age group. Many who owe student loan debt acquired it as a consignor or by taking out loans to pay for their children and grandchildren's education. The CARES Act has given breathing room to many struggling to pay for baseline living expenses such as rent, mortgage, food, and utilities. Keeping spirits high is the Biden administration's indication that student loan forgiveness may be closer than most think.
