Wills
People generally believe they are best suited to determine who should inherit their possessions. However, without a will, Wisconsin’s intestacy laws govern who inherits someone’s possessions, including real estate, bank and investment accounts, and other possessions.
Usually, the spouse inherits everything. In the absence of children or a spouse, the estate would be divided among your nearest living relatives. Probate can be lengthy and expensive.
In addition to specifying the disposition of personal possessions, a will can also:
- Ensure your children’s security by naming the person you prefer as guardian;
- Provide for the future care of pets;
- Specify how final expenses should be handled
