DO I NEED A WILL? HOW DO I PROTECT MY ASSETS?
Type your paragraph here.
Chapter 852 of the Wisconsin Statutes outlines the rules for intestate succession. When someone dies without a valid will, which is known as intestacy, State law determines how the decedent's net estate will be disposed of. For example, if the decedent has a surviving spouse, Wisconsin law states the decedent's net estate would pass to the spouse. However, as your family grows, dying without a will becomes more complicated. If you don't want the State determining where your assets end up after your death, you should plan ahead.
We can assist with any of your estate planning needs.
