Estate planning is the proactive arrangement of your legal documents to guide asset distribution, health care decisions, and management during life and after death.
Key elements include wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney, health care directives, beneficiary designations, and a plan for guardianship. The process typically starts with goals, followed by drafting, review, and final execution under Wisconsin rules.
