A will explains how your assets are distributed after death and appoints an executor to carry out your wishes.

You can combine them for flexible planning.
A power of attorney lets someone you trust handle financial matters if you become unable. A durable form remains in effect if you become incapacitated. Choose a trusted agent and specify the authorities and limits clearly. Wisconsin law also supports healthcare directives to guide medical decisions.
