If you die intestate (without a will), Wisconsin law determines how your assets are distributed. This may not align with your wishes or your family’s needs. Having a will helps ensure your belongings go to the people you choose and can simplify the probate process.
A trust can be an effective tool, but it isn’t always necessary. Whether you choose a simple will or a trust-based plan depends on your assets, family situation, and goals. We’ll explain the options in plain terms so you can decide what works best.
Life changes require updates to your will. Major events like marriage, divorce, births, adoptions, relocation, or changes in assets mean your will should be reviewed and updated.
Prepare a list of assets, beneficiary names, contact details, and any guardianship preferences. Having these details ready helps us draft a precise will efficiently.
Yes. You can name guardians for minor children in your will. It is important to discuss this with potential guardians to ensure they are willing and prepared.
Pricing varies based on the complexity of the plan. We offer transparent pricing and will provide a clear estimate after a brief consultation.
A codicil is a legal amendment to an existing will. If you simply want to update or add provisions, a codicil can often be used instead of rewriting the will.
Yes. You can revoke a will at any time, provided you follow the proper legal steps. We guide you through this process to ensure your revocation is valid.
Choosing the right executor is crucial. Look for someone responsible, organized, and willing to carry out your wishes. We can help you evaluate options.
The timeline varies with the complexity of your will and your responsiveness. A straightforward will can often be completed in a few days, while more complex plans may take longer.
