A will is a written instrument that states who will receive your property, who will manage your estate, and who will care for your dependents after you pass away.
Key elements include naming an executor, designating beneficiaries, establishing guardianship if needed, and outlining distribution plans. The drafting process typically includes consultation, drafting, review, execution, and secure storage.
Glossary of common terms used in wills and estate planning.
Testator: the person who creates the will and directs how assets are distributed.
Beneficiary: a person or organization designated to receive assets under the will.
Executor: the person named to administer the estate and ensure the terms of the will are carried out.
Estate: all property, assets, and debts the deceased leaves behind that are subject to probate or settlement.
Options include wills, living trusts, powers of attorney, and guardianship arrangements. Each tool serves different goals, levels of control, and probate implications.
If you have modest assets, no minor children, and clearly named beneficiaries, a simple will may meet your needs.
When probate requirements are straightforward and there are no unusual provisions, a streamlined approach can be appropriate.

A will states who receives your assets and who will oversee your estate after you pass away. Without a will, Wisconsin law may determine distribution and guardianship, which may not reflect your wishes.
Choosing a guardian is a personal decision about who can care for your children. Document your choice clearly in your will to guide the court and future guardians.
A trust can manage assets during life and after death, but many people still need a will to address assets outside the trust. A professional can help coordinate your will with your trust for a seamless plan.
Probate is the court-supervised process of validating a will. The estate pays debts, distributes assets, and closes the estate, which can take several months.
Review at least every few years and after major life events. If asset structures or state laws change, update accordingly.
The executor administers the estate, pays debts, and distributes assets per the will. Choose someone responsible and trustworthy.
Yes, you can revoke or amend a will at any time as life changes. We can draft a codicil or a new will to reflect updated wishes.
Identification, signatures, witnesses, and sometimes a notary depending on state law. Your attorney will guide you through the required documents.
Keep the original will in a secure, accessible location such as a safe deposit box or with your attorney. Inform trusted executors and provide instructions for access.
Costs vary by complexity and region, but our firm offers transparent pricing after an initial consultation. We provide clear estimates and strive to deliver value through thoughtful planning.
