FAQ Section

Estate planning made easy.

  • 1. Do I need a will or a trust?

    A will outlines how assets are distributed after death, while a trust helps manage assets during your lifetime and after. We help you choose the right plan.

  • 2. What happens if I don’t have an estate plan?

    Without a will or trust, Wisconsin law determines how your assets are distributed. This can result in disputes and delays for your loved ones.

  • 3. Can I change my will or trust later?

    Yes, estate plans should be updated as life circumstances change. Marriage, divorce, new children, or financial shifts may require updates.

  • 4. What is probate, and how does it work?

    Probate is the legal process of distributing assets after death. Without proper planning, it can be lengthy and expensive. We help simplify the process.

  • 5. Who needs a power of attorney?

    Everyone should have a financial and healthcare power of attorney to ensure trusted individuals can manage decisions if needed.
