Estate and gift tax planning involves arranging assets to minimize taxes while ensuring your wishes are respected after you pass.
We explain options clearly and help you choose tools such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and gifting arrangements that work in Wisconsin.
Estate planning is the process of arranging for the management and transfer of your assets during life and after death. Gift tax planning focuses on transfers made during your lifetime to minimize tax impact while preserving wealth for heirs.
Key elements include wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney, healthcare directives, beneficiary designations, and a coordinated gifting strategy that aligns with your tax goals.
Glossary of common terms used in estate planning and gift tax planning to help you understand your options.

A tax on transfers of property during life that exceed permitted exclusions; federal rules apply with state considerations as appropriate.
A legal arrangement that manages assets for beneficiaries according to your instructions.
The amount of assets you can transfer without incurring gift or estate taxes under current law.
Different approaches exist to transfer wealth, including wills, revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, and gifting strategies. We help you weigh benefits and trade-offs in the context of Wisconsin law.
For individuals with straightforward asset ownership and small overall value, a basic plan may meet goals without complex structures.
