Waukesha and Milwaukee Estate Planning Attorneys

Perhaps you have never given much thought to estate planning, but recent events have you thinking about the future - you are planning on a long overseas vacation, you have started a family, you have received an inheritance or you have been diagnosed with a medical illness. Perhaps a loved one - a spouse or parent - has died and you need assistance with estate administration or want to find out if it is possible to avoid probate.

At Hickey, Turim, & Usow, S.C. located in South East Wisconsin, we can help you through the estate planning and estate administration processes. Contact our Wisconsin estate planning lawyer to schedule an initial consultation.

The Estate Planning Process

No individual or family will have the same needs or goals when it comes to estate planning. Therefore, one concrete solution will not work for every client. Our law firm listens to you to learn the intricacies of your unique situation (including family members, relationships or broken relationships, financial standing, complex family concerns, health, etc). We explain the many options available and craft a solution tailored to your specific needs and goals.

We strive to create a solid estate plan which covers all of your needs and will be upheld in the future. Our estate planning services include:

• Wills
• Trust planning
• Special Needs Trusts
• Durable or Medical Power of Attorney
• Living Wills
• Business succession planning

Probate - Estate Administration

Perhaps you have heard horror stories about the probate process. In the state of Wisconsin, probate should be a simple informal process - having an attorney to guide you through it can simplify the process even further. Our estate planning attorney can help you complete and file paperwork, assist with the gathering and valuing of assets, resolve will contests and other probate litigation, distribute payment to creditors, file estate and gift taxes and help you in the distribution of assets to beneficiaries.
