Survivorship marital property This passes directly to the surviving spouse upon the others death. It does not pass under a will. An example would be a residence that has both spouses names (and only their names) on the title.
Your spouse will inherit all of your community and separate property unless you have children or other descendants from a previous relationship. In that case, your spouse will not inherit your share of the community property. Instead, your spouse inherits only half of your separate property.
Under Wisconsin divorce law, all property owned by the spouses (except gifted and inherited property) is presumed to be divided equally, even if acquired prior to the marriage. While these rights are protected, spouses have the ability to alter Wisconsin property and divorce law through a marital property agreement.

Even if youve specified that your children should inherit certain property, without the right estate planning documents, they may have to wait until your spouse dies before they can inherit from your estate. Former spouses may still have a claim.
