Estate planning involves arranging for the management and distribution of your assets. Probate is the court supervised process of settling a deceased person’s estate.
Through well crafted documents and step by step guidance, you can reduce uncertainty, protect loved ones, and ensure your values live on.
Estate planning is the proactive arrangement of your assets, healthcare decisions, and guardianship wishes. Probate is the legal process that validates a will and administers an estate under Wisconsin law.
Key elements include wills, revocable living trusts, durable powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and guardianship designations. The process typically involves document drafting, asset titling, signing formalities, and, when necessary, probate or estate settlement steps.
Glossary entries define common terms to help you understand estate planning and probate.
A will is a written instruction that directs how assets should be distributed after death and naming guardians for minor children.
A durable power of attorney lets you designate someone to handle your financial decisions if you become unable to do so.
A living trust holds assets during life and directs their distribution after death, often helping avoid probate.
The executor is the person named to manage the estate, pay debts, and distribute assets according to the will.
Options include basic wills, revocable trusts, and probate focused plans. We tailor recommendations based on family size, assets, and goals.
For simple estates with few assets and clear wishes, a streamlined plan can be completed quickly and at a lower cost.
However, complex families or blended estates may require more comprehensive documents and planning.
