Estate planning groups assets, healthcare directives, and decisions about guardianship and succession to ensure your wishes are carried out.
Core components typically include a will, a trust if appropriate, a durable power of attorney, and a healthcare directive—each tailored to Wisconsin law.
Estate planning is the set of documents and decisions that organize how your assets are managed, who receives them, and who makes decisions if you cannot.
Key elements include a will or trust, durable power of attorney, healthcare directive, and appointed executor or trustee. The process typically involves asset inventory, goal setting, document preparation, and periodic reviews.
A quick glossary helps you understand common terms used in Wisconsin estate planning.
A will is a legal document that directs how your assets are distributed after death and who will manage your final affairs.
A healthcare directive states your medical preferences and designates someone to make health care decisions for you if you cannot.
A living trust holds assets during your lifetime and can simplify transfer of property after death, often helping to avoid probate.
An executor is the person named to administer your estate, follow your instructions in the will, and settle affairs after you pass away.
Estate planning can be achieved through a will-based approach or a trust-based plan. Each option has advantages depending on goals, assets, family needs, and costs.
