An irrevocable trust is a trust in which assets are placed under the management of a trustee and cannot be easily changed by the grantor. This arrangement can offer asset protection and potential tax benefits, but it also means you relinquish control over the assets.
Irrevocable trusts may have tax implications depending on asset type and funding. A careful plan can optimize tax outcomes within state and federal guidelines.
Funding is done by transferring assets into the trust via title transfers, beneficiary designations, or retitling assets. We guide you through this process to ensure accuracy and compliance.
Typically, changes are limited after execution, but certain modifications may be possible through legal mechanisms or trust amendments. We review options based on your trust terms and Wisconsin law.
A properly funded irrevocable trust can help avoid probate, though some assets may still be subject to probate in limited scenarios. We explain how your trust interacts with Wisconsin probate rules.
The timeline varies with complexity, funding, and your goals; some plans are straightforward, others require more detailed work. We provide a realistic schedule during the initial consultation.
