PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES, TRUSTEES, ATTORNEYS-IN-FACT, GUARDIANS Personal Representatives The Personal Representative is responsible for filing your Will with the Probate Court after your death, collecting all of the assets in your name which are subject to probate at your death, paying all your debts, expenses, and taxes, filing all required tax returns, and ultimately distributing your assets to your named beneficiaries pursuant to your Will. If you decide to use a Revocable Living Trust as the primary instrument in your estate plan, then there may be no probate estate in which case most of the duties traditionally performed by the Personal Representative would be performed by the Trustee(s). For this and other reasons, many people name the same person or persons, or trust company, as Personal Representatives and Trustees. You can name Co-Personal Representatives. Trustees Your Will may provide for the creation of one or more Trusts upon your death. In addition, you may decide to employ a Revocable Living Trust as the primary instrument in your estate plan, in lieu of having a Will serve as the primary instrument. In either case, it will be necessary to designate who should serve as Trustee after you die or become disabled. There is no requirement that the Trustee be a Wisconsin resident. The Trustee may be any individual over 18 years of age or a Trust Company. Initially, you can serve as Trustee of your Revocable Trust. Please keep in mind that the Trustee’s primary function is to manage and invest funds and to distribute the Trust principal and income in accordance with the Trust’s provisions. You can name Co-Trustees.

Agent for Health Care Power of Attorney Your estate planning documents will include a durable power of attorney for health care. In this document you appoint the person or persons you wish to grant authority to make health care decisions on your behalf in the event you become incapacitated. You may, but are not required to, name a successor to serve if your primary agent is unable to serve. Attorneys in Fact for Durable Power of Attorney for Financial Matters Your estate planning documents will also include a durable power of attorney granting broad powers to manage your personal matters and financial matters such as signing checks on your behalf, buying and selling property on your behalf, accessing your safe deposit box, filing tax returns for you, etc. You can name more than one person to serve as co-agents. Guardians Disregard this section if there are no minor children. If any of your children are under the age of 18, a guardianship will be necessary for each of your minor children. The Guardian(s) is (are) the person(s) with whom your minor child(ren) will live and who will be responsible for the care of the child(ren) on a day-to-day basis. The Guardian does not need to be a Wisconsin resident. If you have certain people in mind to fill these roles, please include their names, addresses and phone numbers.
