Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are included in a basic estate plan in Wisconsin?
A basic estate plan in Wisconsin typically includes a last will and testament, a durable power of attorney for finances, a power of attorney for healthcare, and a living will. These documents allow you to name decision makers and outline your wishes for property and medical care.
Does Wisconsin require probate for all estates?
No. Wisconsin offers a simplified probate process for small estates valued at $50,000 or less, excluding real estate. Larger estates generally require formal probate through the Waukesha County Circuit Court. An attorney can help determine if your estate qualifies for a simplified process.
Can I avoid Wisconsin estate taxes with proper planning?
Wisconsin does not impose a state estate tax or inheritance tax as of 2025. However, federal estate tax may apply to estates over the federal exemption amount, which is $13.61 million per individual in 2024. Proper planning can help reduce or eliminate federal estate tax liability.
