Estate planning is the process of organizing how your assets are managed during life and distributed after death, using documents like wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives.
Core components include wills, trusts, guardianship planning, durable powers of attorney, healthcare directives, probate considerations, and ongoing plan reviews.
This glossary explains common terms you’ll encounter when planning your estate in Wisconsin.
A will is a legal document that directs how your assets are distributed after death and may name guardians for minor children.
A trust is a legal arrangement where assets are managed by a trustee for beneficiaries, often helping avoid or simplify probate.
A durable power of attorney gives a designated person authority to act on your financial or legal matters if you’re unable.
A healthcare directive outlines your medical care preferences if you cannot communicate your wishes.

A will directs how your assets are distributed after your death and can name guardians for minor children. A trust can offer more control over when and how assets pass, and may help avoid probate in some cases. Consider your family needs and assets when deciding which approach fits best.
Plans should be reviewed periodically and after major life events such as marriage, birth, relocation, or a change in assets. Wisconsin law can change as well, so regular updates help keep your plan effective.
If you die without a plan, Wisconsin law determines how your assets are distributed and who makes healthcare decisions. This can lead to unintended outcomes and court involvement. An estate plan helps ensure your wishes are followed.
Guardianship choices should reflect your values and the needs of your children. Discuss options with family and your attorney to select guardians who align with your priorities.
A power of attorney appoints someone to handle financial and legal matters if you’re unable. A healthcare directive outlines medical care preferences. Both help prevent decisions from being made without your input.
Yes. Plans can be updated at any time as your goals or circumstances change. It’s wise to review regularly or after major life events.
Costs vary based on complexity. We offer transparent pricing and work with you to choose an approach that fits your goals and budget.
The timeline depends on your plan’s complexity. We move efficiently while ensuring accuracy, with timelines discussed during the initial consultation.
