An Iowa last will and testament is a legal document set forth by a testator (the person creating the will) that ensures his or her personal and real property, fiduciary assets and/or any cash on hand, digital property, and any other property will go to selected beneficiaries upon death. On their will, a testator can set instructions on how to distribute assets/property among spouses, family, friends, and even charitable organizations. Iowa law dictates wills must be signed by the testator in the presence of at least two (2) competent and credible witnesses; both of whom will sign the document as well. Though optional, a testator can have their will acknowledged by a notary public for an extra layer of legal protection.
