The Wisconsin Notice of Inventory on File (Formal Administration) is a document that is filed with the Wisconsin Register of Deeds at the time of a probate estate being opened. It is used to inform creditors of the estate and any interested parties of the assets of the estate. The notice provides a description of the assets, the value of the assets as of the date of death, and the name and address of the person responsible for administering the estate. It also contains information regarding the time frame for creditors to make a claim against the estate. There are two types of Wisconsin Notice of Inventory on File (Formal Administration): Initial Inventory and Updated Inventory. An Initial Inventory is filed when the estate is first opened and contains all the assets as of the date of death. An Updated Inventory can be filed at a later date and includes any assets that have been acquired or disposed of since the Initial Inventory was filed.
