In Case You Missed It – Closing the Estate: Probate, Property & Planning – Recap

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Estate Planning and Probate Panel at the Holmen Area Community Center on June 12, 2025. We had a great turnout and a fantastic discussion about what happens when someone passes away, what probate is (and isn’t), and how to plan ahead to make things easier for loved ones.

Attorney Sarah Fortune and a panel of other trusted local professionals shared practical tips on transferring property, navigating the probate process, and avoiding common estate planning pitfalls. If you couldn’t make it, don’t worry! We’ve included the presentation notes here so you can catch up: Understanding Probate and Estate Planning in Wisconsin.
