Summary probate is a streamlined legal process that allows heirs to settle small estates without the lengthy and complex procedures of formal probate. This process is available in most states for estates that fall below a certain value, which varies by state.
File a summary administration petition with the probate court. In this petition, you are asking to be appointed as the personal representative of the estate. The court will review your petition. If satisfied, you will be appointed personal representative without a hearing.
Findings of fact are determinations by a court from the evidence of a case concerning the facts asserted by one party and denied by another. Summary judgment is only granted when there is no genuine issue as to any material fact, when facts are not being asserted by one party and denied by the other.
Generally, Wisconsin wants an estate to be probated within 18 months of death but it does vary by county. Some counties in Wisconsin want the estate to be probated within a year.
In most cases, you do not need an attorney to proceed informally. Formal Administration is a formal proceeding in circuit court. Formal probate requires an attorney to represent the estate.
