Will

A Last Will and Testament is an instrument by which a person makes a disposition or gift of his or her property. The gifts do not take effect until the death of the testator (the person making the Will). To be valid, the Will must meet the requirements and formalities of state law. Krentz Law is knowledgeable about all aspects of drafting wills under Minnesota and Wisconsin law—whether the Will is simple or complex. Our firm will help ensure that your assets reach your intended beneficiaries after your death.

If you die intestate (without making a Will), you do not get to choose who will receive your probate assets. The state government decides for you, and each state’s laws are different. Depending upon your home State, if you die intestate, the persons who inherit from you depend upon whether you are married or single, whether you have children, and other factors. It also may depend upon the nature of your property.

Perhaps your estate planning needs cannot be met by simply drafting a will. If so, a more sophisticated plan should be created to meet your needs. If you are interested in protecting assets, and preserving wealth so that your assets will go to the person or persons you select, contact our firm for a free initial consultation.
