Fort Wayne Probate Attorney
When a family member dies, the probate process and the administration of an estate can quickly become complicated, particularly if several heirs are involved. Disputes about the validity of a will or trust, as well as the proper manner in which they should be executed, can easily emerge, and resolving these issues often requires legal intervention.

What is probate?
Nolo Law for All says “Probate is a legal process that takes place after someone dies. It includes:
- proving in court that a deceased person’s will is valid (usually a routine matter)
- identifying and inventorying the deceased person’s property
- having the property appraised paying debts and taxes, and
- distributing the remaining property as the will (or state law, if there’s no will) directs.
Does all property have to go through probate when a person dies?
Nolo Law for All says,
- Most states allow a certain amount of property to pass free of probate or through a simplified probate procedure
- In addition, property that passes outside of your will — say, through joint tenancy or a living trust — is not subject to probate.
What does a probate attorney do?
A Fort Wayne Probate attorney will encourage a family to have a will to ensure that all assets will pass to the heirs quickly and efficiently. A will expresses the clear wishes for disposition of assets after the passing of a loved one. Inter-family disputes over assets are some of the most stressful events for a family. Drawing up a will with a probate attorney is one of the most loving things you can do for your family.
Are there estate or inheritance taxes in Wisconsin? The state of Wisconsin has no Estate Tax for decedents nor does Wisconsin have an Inheritance Tax. The only way that you might owe any taxes is if the decedent resided in Wisconsin but you (the heir) live in a state with an Inheritance Tax (like New Jersey).
