A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets are distributed after your death. It names an executor to handle the estate and can include guardians for minor children. Creating a will helps ensure your wishes are followed and reduces potential disputes.
Choosing a guardian is a deeply personal decision. Your chosen guardian should share your values and be willing to take on the responsibility. It’s wise to discuss this with family and your attorney.
We recommend updating your will after major life events such as marriage, the birth of a child, or a change in assets. Regular reviews help keep your plan current.
Wisconsin intestate laws determine how your estate is distributed if you die without a will. Having a will helps you direct assets to specific people and trusted recipients.
While you can draft a will without a lawyer, a lawyer helps ensure validity, prevents ambiguous language, and avoids probate issues.
