FAQ

The Domiciliary Letters shows that the probate court has given the authority to the named personal representative to act on behalf on the estate of the decedent and to perform all duties required to administer the estate according to statute.

Informal probate is the administration of a deceased person's estate without continuous court supervision.Formal probate is required in a number of instances and Wisconsin statutes require the estate's personal representative to procure the assistance of an attorney.

Some states have a deadline for initiating this process, often between 10 and 90 days from the date of the deceased's passing or from when the executor received notice of death. In both California and Wisconsin, the deadline is 30 days.

Although Wisconsin law requires that probate be completed within 18 months, a court may choose to grant an extension. On average, probate in Wisconsin takes no less than six months. The probate process must allow time for creditors to be notified, file required income tax returns, and resolve any disputes.

In Wisconsin, you can make a living trust to avoid probate for virtually any asset you own -- real estate, bank accounts, vehicles, and so on. You need to create a trust document (it's similar to a will), naming someone to take over as trustee after your death (called a successor trustee).

Probate of a Will cannot be granted until at least 28 days have passed since the date of death.But at the other end, there is no time limit specified in any legislation by which an Executor must take steps to obtain a grant of Probate.

Probate is used to distribute a decedent's assets not only to beneficiaries but also to creditors and taxing authorities. Any Wisconsin estate that exceeds $50,000 in value must go through the probate process unless the property is subject to certain exemptions.

Though there is no time limit on the probate application itself, there are aspects of the process which do have time scales. Inheritance tax for example, is a very important part of attaining probate in the first place and must be done within 6 months of date of death.

There is a $3 filing fee to file a claim against an estate. Probate office or online at Wisconsin Court System Circuit Court forms. File the completed form with the Register in Probate together with the $3.00 statutory filing fee. Send a copy to the Personal Representative and the estate attorney.
