Terms Used In Iowa Code 633.448

  • Estate: means the real and personal property of either a decedent or a ward, and may also refer to the real and personal property of a trust described in section 633. See Iowa Code 633.3
  • Party: means the respondent, petitioner, guardian, conservator, or any other person allowed by the court to participate in a guardianship or protective proceeding. See Iowa Code 633.701
  • Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
 Upon the trial of a claim, offsets, and counterclaims, the amount owing by or to the estate, if any, shall be determined. A claim against the estate shall be allowed for the net amount. Judgment shall be rendered for any amount found to be due the estate. If a judgment is rendered against a claimant for any net amount, execution may issue in the same manner as on judgments in civil cases. The judgment against any interested party may be deducted from any amounts the estate owes to the interested party.
