A will is a legal document that explains how you want your property distributed and who will handle your estate after you pass away. It can also name guardians for minor children and specify funeral wishes.
In Wisconsin, you typically need two witnesses to sign a will, and a notary can provide additional assurance. An attorney can help ensure the will meets legal requirements and is properly executed.
Yes. You can amend or revoke a will. A codicil can modify specific terms, or you can create a new will that supersedes the old one.
A will can direct asset distribution, but probate may still be required depending on the assets. A well-drafted will can simplify and speed up the process.
Name someone you trust as executor, or consider a professional administrator. Discuss responsibilities with them so they are prepared.
While you can draft a will without a lawyer, working with a Wisconsin attorney helps ensure validity, avoids common mistakes, and coordinates with taxes and guardianship rules.
Dying without a will means state laws determine how your assets are distributed, which may not reflect your wishes.
If you have minor children, a will can designate guardians and outline a plan for their care and assets.
The time to prepare a will varies with complexity, but a typical process involves a consult, drafting, review, and signing over a few weeks.
Fees depend on complexity and services. We offer clear pricing and tailor a plan to your needs.
