Our Greenfield firm brings years of hands-on practice guiding clients through trust design, funding, and administration with practical, results-oriented advice.
An irrevocable trust transfers ownership of assets to a trustee and cannot be easily altered, offering strong asset protection and potential tax advantages.
Working with a qualified attorney ensures the trust aligns with your goals, complies with Wisconsin law, and coordinates with your overall plan.
An irrevocable trust is a trust arrangement where the grantor relinquishes ownership of assets to a trustee for the benefit of named beneficiaries, typically used for estate and tax planning.
Core elements include a valid trust document, a named trustee, designated beneficiaries, funding of assets, fiduciary duties, and ongoing administration.
