Estate Planning and Probate Attorneys
Serving the Milwaukee Area
We believe that everyone, regardless of the size of their estate, should get basic estate planning. In the event of your passing or incapacitation, you want to have your assets and affairs managed in the way you specify, not how a court sees fit.
In addition, almost every estate needs to go through probate. Probate is the process of proving a will, and is not always a difficult process. But it is often wise to have the guidance of an experienced attorney.
At Welcenbach Law Offices, S.C., our attorneys can sit down with you, consider your situation, and carefully work through a solution that will meet your specific needs. We offer free initial consultations to people throughout the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. Contact us any time.
Estate Planning
Our lawyers can assist you with all of your estate planning needs, including:
- Wills: simple to complex
- Trusts: revocable and irrevocable trusts
- Health care powers of attorney, living wills
- Financial powers of attorney
- Tax planning: estate tax avoidance, etc.
- Guardianships
- Business succession planning; i.e., passing business ownership to the next generation
The more carefully you plan your estate, the more likely your heirs will get exactly what you want them to get. Few people want their families to be confused and conflicted about the dispersal of an estate.
Probate Law
As we mentioned above, probate is the process of administering a loved one's assets and liabilities. If there is a Will and it is admitted by the court, the terms of the will are carried out, and the assets are disbursed according to the Will's terms. You must be careful to ensure that the Will is administered properly and that all proceedings accord with regulations—our lawyers can guide you through the process.
We can also help you with any disputes in the probate process. We are experienced trial lawyers, and can represent you in any will contests or other controversies that may arise.
