We help you choose between wills, trusts, and gifting strategies based on your assets, family needs, and Wisconsin law.
Estate planning organizes how your assets are managed during life and transferred after death, while gift tax planning focuses on transferring wealth with tax efficiency.
Core elements include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, beneficiary designations, and gifting strategies. The process typically starts with a comprehensive discussion, followed by drafting, review, and periodic updates to reflect life changes.
The following terms are commonly used in estate planning and gift tax planning to help you understand your plan.
The total value of assets at death used to determine tax liability and the distribution of property.
A tax on transfers of property during life or at death; annual exclusions can reduce liability.
A legal document that specifies how your assets will be distributed after death and can appoint guardians and an executor.
A fiduciary arrangement that holds and manages assets for beneficiaries according to your instructions.
Will-based plans, trusts, and gifting strategies each have different strengths. We outline typical considerations to help you choose.

This approach can be less expensive upfront and easier to manage over time.
