Estate Planning Is A Challenging, But Critical Conversation
If you’re like most people, estate planning isn’t high on your list of favorite topics. The complexities of wills, trusts, and probate can make anyone overwhelmed — particularly if you are dealing with the estate of a loved one.
It’s a challenging conversation to broach, but the more proactive you are, the better. Whether you’re young and healthy or in your golden years, estate planning is essential if you want to ensure that your assets are protected and your loved ones are taken care of after death.

Probate And Estate Administration
When a person dies, their estate must go through the probate process. Probate is the legal process of transferring a person’s assets to their heirs. The probate court will appoint an executor to oversee the estate and make sure that all debts and taxes are paid. The executor will also distribute the assets to the heirs according to the person’s wishes.

Set Up a Secure Will or Trust with a Wisconsin Estate Planning Attorney
Estate planning typically involves the creation of a will and/or a trust. A will is a document that specifies how you want your assets to be distributed. A trust is a legal entity that holds your assets and distributes them according to your wishes. Trusts can be used to avoid probate, minimize taxes, and protect your assets from creditors.
In the estate planning realm, trusts are becoming an increasingly common tool for management, protection and distribution of assets. Our attorneys can help you form, fund, and administer a wide variety of trusts, ranging from simple revocable trusts to more complex irrevocable trusts.
