Wills in Madison Wisconsin: Should You Have a Will?

Stephanie Thompson, Estate Planning Attorney of Krueger Hernandez & Thompson SC · Feb 9, 2014 ·

wills in madison wisconsinWe all know people are living longer than ever before. Unfortunately most fail to create a will or any estate plan prior to their death. This leaves their loved ones left to “guess” what they wanted. With money, grief, and opinions in play, relationships get ruined.

No matter who you are, where you are, there is a good chance that you need a will. This will ensure that your assets are properly distributed upon your death. There are other functions of a will, such as the ability to assign guardianship of any child under the age of 18.

Wills in Middleton Wisconsin – How to get Started

It is one thing to say you need a will. It is another thing entirely to create this legal document without delay.

Rather than continue to do your own research, hoping to eventually create a will in Madison Wisconsin, the best thing you can do is hire an experienced Madison estate planning attorney. This will take all the guesswork out of the equation.

Can you really afford to create a will? The better question is can you not afford it? You need to decide how you will be defined at your death. What type of legacy do you want to leave: one with family disputes, chaos and unnecessary expenses or one lessening the pain of your survivors?

Reasons to Create a Will

Here are four reasons to end the procrastination and why you need a will:

  • A will can take a lot of stress off your family when you die, allowing your assets to be distributed based on your wishes as opposed to their demands.
  • When you don’t have a will, there is no guarantee of who will be awarded your property. In other words, your assets could end up in the wrong hands.
  • A will may help reduce the costs of your administration.
  • If you have children under the age of 18, a will makes sure they are cared for by the right individual after you are gone.

There are many other reasons to create a will and an estate plan in Madison Wisconsin. Rather than put this off for another day, go to KH-LAW.net and schedule your free estate planning consultation. Once you have a will in place, you will have peace of mind knowing that a legacy plan is in place.
