Why Choose Us

Marriage brings both joy and important legal considerations regarding property ownership. We help couples navigate marital property arrangements that protect individual and joint interests while respecting Wisconsin's community property laws. From prenuptial agreements to property concerns during marriage or planning for future asset distribution, our attorneys provide clear guidance tailored to your situation. We'll work with you to create arrangements that reflect your wishes and provide peace of mind for both spouses.

The probate process can feel overwhelming during an already difficult time. When a loved one passes away, their estate typically goes through probate court to settle debts and distribute assets to heirs. Our probate attorneys guide executors and beneficiaries through every step of this legal process, from filing initial documents to final distribution. We handle both formal and informal probate proceedings, working efficiently to resolve matters while minimizing stress for your family. With our extensive experience, we anticipate potential complications and address them before they become problems.

Trusts offer flexible solutions for managing and distributing your assets according to your specific wishes. From a revocable living trust to avoid probate to a special needs trust to provide for a loved one with disabilities or an irrevocable trust for tax planning purposes, we'll help you determine which structure best serves your goals. Our attorneys explain the benefits and limitations of various trust options in straightforward terms, then draft documents that accurately reflect your intentions. We also assist trustees with their ongoing duties and responsibilities.

A properly drafted will forms the foundation of any comprehensive estate plan. This essential document allows you to specify how your assets should be distributed after your death, name guardians for minor children, and designate an executor to manage your estate. Without a valid will, Wisconsin's intestacy laws determine how your property is divided, which may not align with your wishes. We take time to understand your family dynamics and financial situation, then create a will that clearly expresses your intentions and stands up to legal scrutiny. As your life changes, we're available to update your will to reflect new circumstances so it remains relevant and effective.
