Hope Wood is an estate-planning attorney in Des Moines with a JD from Drake University Law School and 10 years of experience in the field. She creates last will and testaments, living wills, power of attorney documents, and revocable trusts for Iowa families and individuals. 

As an experienced estate-planning attorney, Hope helps her clients create a plan that reflects their own personal wishes, meets Iowa legal requirements, and considers all eventualities. She is committed to offering virtual, one-on-one, customized problem-solving for each family’s unique estate-planning needs.

Hope’s most popular service is Will in a Day® — a comprehensive estate-planning package that includes a last will and testament, an asset-transfer plan, power of attorney documents, a living will, and a testamentary trust for those with minor children — available for a flat fee of only $550 for single individuals and $950 for married couples. The entire process takes less than two hours.

Unlike many attorneys, Hope wants her clients to know upfront what they will pay for her legal services. She strives to make her services affordable for families of all incomes, because everyone deserves the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your loved ones are taken care of.

Hope also has a special interest in helping families navigate the complicated probate process, which is the court-supervised procedure for transferring the assets of a deceased individual when they don’t transfer by law or contract. Her goal is to help average Iowans, who are otherwise overlooked by probate specialists, quickly and easily close their loved one’s estate during the grieving process. 

As an attorney, Hope cares about the well-being of all Iowans, not just her own clients. She provides free estate-planning education through webinars, online FAQs, and blog posts. Her goal is to teach Iowa families how to protect themselves and their loved ones through estate planning, even those who don’t go on to become her clients.

This focus on service and education is backed up by feedback and testimonials from Hope’s clients. She has nearly 170 five-star reviews on Google, with a average rating of 4.9 stars.
