                     WHAT AN 
ESTATE 
PLANNING 
ATTORNEY CAN 
DO FOR YOU?
Introduction

as overlooked—as estate planning. Whether you’re protecting your loved 
ones, managing your assets, or planning your healthcare wishes, having the 
right legal guidance is essential. Here’s how a 
attorney for estate planning wisconsin can help you make confident, 
informed choices that stand the test of time.

1. Creating a Will That
Reflects Your Wishes
A will is the foundation of your estate plan. It 
details how your assets should be distributed 
after your passing and names guardians for 
minor children. An experienced attorney 
ensures that your will complies with Wisconsin 
law, avoids ambiguities, and reflects your true 
intentions—so your loved ones aren't left with 
confusion or conflict.
2. Establishing Trusts for
Asset Protection
Trusts aren’t just for the wealthy. They’re powerful tools 
that help manage and protect your assets during your 
lifetime and after. A Wisconsin estate planning attorney 
can help set up revocable or irrevocable trusts, special 
needs trusts, or charitable trusts, depending on your 
goals. These tools can help minimize probate, reduce 
taxes, and preserve assets for future generations.
3. Powers of Attorney for
Financial & Healthcare
Decisions
Planning isn’t only about what happens after death—it’s 
also about what happens if you become incapacitated. 
Your attorney will help draft durable powers of attorney 
for financial decisions and healthcare directives, 
including a living will. These documents allow someone 
you trust to act on your behalf when you’re unable to.
4. Avoiding Probate and Minimizing
Legal Hassles
Wisconsin’s probate process can be time-consuming and costly. An 
attorney can help you structure your estate to avoid or simplify 
probate by using tools like transfer-on-death deeds, joint 
ownership, and beneficiary designations. This not only reduces 
stress for your family but speeds up asset distribution.
5. Updating Plans as Life
Changes
Estate planning is not a one-time task. As your family, 
finances, and health change, so should your documents. A 
skilled estate planning attorney in Wisconsin will review 
and revise your plan regularly to ensure it remains legally 
sound and aligned with your current wishes.
