A will is a legal document that specifies how your assets will be distributed after you pass away and designates who will handle your affairs.
We tailor your plan to your family circumstances, ensuring compliance with Wisconsin law and updating your documents as life changes.
A will names beneficiaries, an executor to administer the estate, and may appoint guardians for minor children. It is an essential part of a comprehensive estate plan.
Key elements include the will itself, the appointment of an executor, guardianship provisions, beneficiaries, witnesses, and, in Wisconsin, a self-proving affidavit to simplify probate. The process involves discussion, drafting, review, signing, and secure storage.

Wills and trusts are common tools for estate planning. A will provides direction after death, while a trust can manage assets during life and avoid probate. We help you choose the best option for your goals.
If your estate is straightforward—no trusts, minimal assets, and no complex guardianship—you may not need a broader plan.
For many people, a simple will covers basic distribution without complicating probate.
A full plan accounts for guardianship, tax considerations, charitable giving, and ongoing updates.
Life changes like marriage, birth, divorce, or relocation require updates to your documents.

It also aligns your wealth, values, and healthcare preferences with professional guidance.

A will clarifies who inherits your assets, who will manage your estate, and who will care for any minor children. It provides a blueprint for your wishes after death and helps prevent dispute among family members. Working with a wills attorney ensures the document complies with Wisconsin law and reflects your unique circumstances.
While you can draft a will on your own, relying on a lawyer helps ensure validity, prevents ambiguities, and can address guardianship and tax considerations. A professional can tailor the document to your goals and provide guidance on related estate planning tools.
Review your will after major life changes—marriage, divorce, birth of a child, relocation, or changes in assets. Regular updates help keep your plan aligned with current wishes and laws.
Dying without a will in Wisconsin means state law determines who inherits and who administers the estate. This can lead to results that differ from your wishes. Creating a will helps control outcomes and reduce court involvement.
Consider someone who is responsible, trustworthy, and capable of managing finances and potential family needs. You may also consider an alternate executor in case your first choice is unavailable.
Yes. You can amend, revoke, or replace a will as life changes occur. The process typically involves creating a codicil or drafting a new will with the help of a lawyer.
