Estate Planning
Whether you own many valuable assets or few, planning your estate is an important part of preparing for the future. Life is unpredictable and we never know what could happen next week or next year, so it is wise to get your ducks in a row while things are stable. Our firm can help you establish a strong will, durable or living trusts, powers of attorney, advance healthcare directives, guardianships, conservatorships, and more. Don’t leave your legacy up to fate — let us help you start planning today.
Probate
Most wills are subject to probate, which is the legal term for settling and closing an estate after the estate trustee has passed away. This can be a confusing process to the layperson, which is why we strongly recommend working with a skilled probate attorney in the event you are named an estate executor and tasked with completing the legal probate process. We will help you notify all beneficiaries and creditors, pay off any debts, sell or gift property, and handle all other aspects to the letter of Wisconsin law.
