A will is a legal document that communicates how your property should be distributed and who will manage your estate after you pass away.
We help you tailor the document to Wisconsin law, including guardianship provisions and tax considerations, while keeping your goals simple and clear.
In basic terms, a will states who will receive your assets, who will handle the estate, and any specific bequests. It is the foundation of a thoughtful estate plan.
Key elements include selecting named beneficiaries, naming an executor, choosing guardians for minor children, and signing with witnesses as required by Wisconsin law.
Definitions of common terms you may see in wills and estate planning.
Testator — the person who creates and signs the will.
Executor — the person named to carry out the instructions in the will.
Beneficiary — a person or organization that receives assets under the will.
Guardianship — a person appointed to care for minor children as specified in the will.
