Planning your future begins with a will. Grah Law LLC serves Butler and surrounding areas, helping families clearly state their wishes and protect loved ones.

An ordinary will allows you to name beneficiaries and executor, ensuring your assets go where you want. It also provides guidance for guardianship and funeral preferences. The document should be signed, witnessed, and dated according to Wisconsin law.
The executor should be someone you trust to manage assets, pay debts, and distribute property. Discuss responsibilities with them in advance and confirm their willingness.
While some people use trusts to avoid probate, many wills work well on their own. A trust can provide added privacy and control, but it is not always necessary.
A codicil is a formal amendment to a will, allowing changes without rewriting the entire document.
Review your will after major life events and at least every few years to ensure it still reflects your wishes.
Yes. You can name guardians for minor children in your will to ensure their care if you’re not here.
Assets such as real estate, bank accounts, retirement accounts, and valuables should be addressed in a will.
Wisconsin recognizes handwritten wills under certain circumstances, but formal requirements are generally recommended.
Without a will, state law determines who inherits your assets and who becomes guardian for minor children, which may not align with your wishes.
Costs vary based on complexity. We offer clear pricing and discuss options during your consultation.
