A will is a document that directs how your assets will be distributed after your death and can appoint guardians for minor children. It helps avoid confusion and reduces the potential for disputes within your family. Working with a skilled attorney ensures the document meets state requirements and reflects your wishes clearly.
Without a will, Wisconsin intestacy laws determine who receives your assets, which may not align with your wishes. A will allows you to specify beneficiaries and appoint an executor to manage the estate.
The guardian you name should reflect who you trust to care for your children. Consider factors like values, proximity, and the support system available to the child. It’s wise to discuss options with your potential guardians and your attorney.
While you can draft a will without a lawyer, consulting with an attorney helps ensure your documents comply with Wisconsin law and are less vulnerable to challenges.
Yes. You can update your will at any time. You should review and revise it after major life events or changes in assets, guardianship needs, or beneficiaries.
Costs depend on the complexity of your plan. We provide upfront, transparent pricing and can tailor services to fit your needs.
Bring a list of assets, debts, beneficiary designations, contact information for executors and guardians, and any existing estate documents.
