Estate planning
Plan today. protect what matters tomorrow.

wills
A will is one of the foundations of an estate plan. It allows you to state how you want your property distributed after your death and name a personal representative to carry out your wishes. For parents of minor children, a will can also be used to nominate a guardian for your children. Without a valid will, Wisconsin law determines how certain property is distributed, which may not reflect your wishes. Attorney Weege can prepare a will that clearly documents your intentions and works together with the other components of your estate plan.

Powers of attorney and advance directives
Estate planning also means preparing for circumstances in which you are alive but unable to manage your own affairs. Powers of attorney allow you to choose people you trust to act on your behalf rather than leaving important decisions unplanned. Attorney Weege can prepare financial powers of attorney, healthcare powers of attorney, living wills, advance directives, and HIPAA authorizations as appropriate for your estate plan. Together, these documents can help ensure that your financial and healthcare wishes are understood and that the right people have authority to act when necessary.

Revocable living trusts
For individuals and families seeking a more comprehensive estate plan, a revocable living trust may provide additional flexibility in managing and transferring assets. A properly structured trust can provide for the management of assets during your lifetime, establish instructions for their distribution after your death, and may allow assets held in the trust to pass outside of probate.
A trust is not necessary or appropriate for everyone. Attorney Weege can help you determine whether a revocable living trust fits your circumstances and, when appropriate, prepare a coordinated estate plan that includes the trust, a pour-over will, powers of attorney, advance directives, and related documents.

what type of estate plan do you need?
Estate planning is not one-size-fits-all. The appropriate documents depend on your family, assets, goals, and the complexity of your estate. Your plan may be influenced by factors such as:
- Whether you are single or married
- Whether you have children or other dependents
- The type and value of property you own
- Who you want to make financial and healthcare decisions for you
- How you want your assets distributed
- Whether a revocable living trust would benefit your estate
Attorney Weege will explain your options and help you determine which documents make sense for your circumstances. Reach out today at 262-399-7258 or via his contact form.
