Arizona/Florida/Illinois Law Consultations
Our attorneys are licensed in more than 18 states, and much of the Trusts and Estates Practice's work outside the State of Wisconsin centers in Arizona, Florida and Illinois.
The Trusts and Estates attorneys are licensed and actively practice in each of Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida and Arizona. In addition to being licensed in Wisconsin, Christine Barden, Jennifer D'Amato and Caitlyn Sikorski are licensed in Illinois; John Herbers is licensed in Florida and Nathan Johnson is licensed in Arizona.
Many of our clients own property outside the State of Wisconsin, and so our Trusts and Estates attorneys assist with the multijurisdictional planning required for these situations.
Specific planning issues addressed for Arizona, Florida or Illinois clients include:
- Using funded revocable living trusts to avoid probate
- Using funded revocable living trusts to equalize spousal shares of the estate
- Preserving Wisconsin marital property treatment of assets to obtain favorable income tax treatment
- Addressing Arizona community property treatment of assets
- Obtaining and retaining favorable Florida homestead creditor protection property tax treatment
