IOWA CODE § 635.1. Where there is no will, a petition for small estate administration may be made by a surviving spouse, heirs of the decedent, creditors of the decedent, or any other persons showing good grounds therefor; if there is a will, such a petition may be filed by any interested person.

Use the Court Locator and find the probate court where the decedent was a resident. The State filing fee is $435. Request further instructions from the court clerk on the process in the county.

Present the affidavit to a third party that possesses the property of the deceased, such as a bank or company, in order to gather and distribute it to each named successor. This does not have to be filed in court.

Iowa probate follows this general flow: contact the court, get appointed as personal representative, submit will if it exists, inventory and submit valuations of all relevant assets, have the court and beneficiaries approve it, and then distribute the assets to beneficiaries.
