Estate Planning Services For Cedar Rapids Individuals And Families

Estate planning is critical to protect your ability to choose how you will safeguard not only all that you have worked hard for but also for whom you have worked hard to provide for all these years. At Klinger, Robinson & Ford, LLP, we offer both simple and complex estate plans.

A Cedar Rapids attorney will quote you a fee, whether it will be based on a flat fee or an hourly fee, at the time of the consultation, based on the type of estate plan needed. During the first consultation, your attorney will discuss whether your needs require something more advanced.

Individually Tailored Options For Simple Estate Plans

Our basic estate plan is suitable for many clients and includes personalized legal documents, such as:

• Individual plan: Last will and testament, durable general power of attorney, living will, and medical power of attorney
• Married couple plans: For each spouse, a last will and testament, durable general power of attorney, living will, and medical power of attorney

Our basic estate plan includes a consultation with an attorney, a last will and testament, a durable general power of attorney on the statutory form, and a living will and medical power of attorney. The basic estate plan does not involve trusts, business ownership transfers or complex real estate interests.

Comprehensive Complex Estate Planning

In addition to our simple estate plans, we frequently handle complex estates for clients with significant assets. For instance, we can handle any estate plan utilizing inter vivos trusts, also known as living or revocable trusts, testamentary trusts, and/or involving complicated real estate, business or agricultural questions. An hourly rate will usually apply for these types of estate plans:

• Complex plans: Necessary for business and farm owners
• Comprehensive plans: Involve trusts, business ownership transfers or complex real estate interests

Our attorneys can assist you with determining if your circumstances would be best served by the benefits of a complex or comprehensive estate plan.
