Keyan J. McAreavy

 I practice estate planning, trust administration, and probate law at BrownWinick's Iowa City and Des Moines offices. My focus is on building plans that protect what you've worked for and provide for the people who matter most to you, both now and in the future. Estate planning can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. I work to make the process clear, straightforward, and tailored to your situation. If you're thinking about planning for the future, I'd welcome the chance to talk through your goals and put a plan in place that gives you real peace of mind. 

My Approach

Estate planning is personal, and I treat it that way. I take the time to understand your family, your priorities, and your concerns before recommending anything. You'll always know where things stand, because I believe the best plans come from honest conversations and informed decisions. My goal is simple: to leave you feeling confident that the people you love are protected and that your wishes will be carried out. Let's build a plan that reflects what matters most to you. 

More About Me

I started my undergraduate education at Iowa Western Community College, where I played football during my time in Council Bluffs. I then transferred to the University of Iowa where I graduated in 2019 with a degree in Political Science and International Relations. I then attended Drake University Law School, where I graduated in 2022, with Highest Honors. Upon graduation, I earned membership to the Order of the Coif and was then admitted to the Iowa Bar. 

While at Drake University Law School, I was the Online Editor of the Drake Law Review and a Legal Research and Writing Teaching Assistant. When I’m not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, hunting, fishing, and watching the Iowa Hawkeyes.
