Who it is for

Whoever is settling the estate of someone who lived in Wisconsin. Handed to the bank or other holder. Not filed with the court: given to whoever owes the money or holds the property; for real estate, recorded with the register of deeds.

Not the right fit if

The person didn't live in or own property in Wisconsin, or a will contest or family dispute means you need an estate attorney. Not a form preparation or legal service.

Why it is different

- Sources, checked November 2026: Wis. Stat. 867.03, Transfer by affidavit, and 867.02, Summary assignment (Wisconsin Legislature, chapter 867); Wisconsin Court System form PR-1831, Transfer by Affidavit (07/2019); Nolo (secondary source): Probate Shortcuts in Wisconsin (Nolo); Justia (statute text) (secondary source): Wis. Stat. 867.03, Transfer by affidavit (2024 Wisconsin Statutes, Justia); State Bar of Wisconsin (secondary source): State of Wisconsin Transfer by Affidavit instructions (State Bar of Wisconsin, 7.17.19); Wis. Stat. Chapter 853, Wills (Wisconsin Legislature); Wis. Stat. 853.03, Execution of wills (Wisconsin Legislature); Wis. Stat. 853.04 and 853.07, Self-proved will; Witnesses (Wisconsin Legislature); Nolo (secondary source): How to Make a Will in Wisconsin (Nolo).
- All 11 Wisconsin facts are confirmed: on an official page, or where none could be read, on a vetted secondary source marked as such.

What is inside

- **Wisconsin small estate route.** Property subject to administration in the state with a gross value of $50,000 or less. Real property can be transferred, with notice to the heirs at least 30 days before the affidavit is recorded. Real estate counts toward the value, and the procedure can reach it. No waiting period after the death: Wis. Stat. 867.03 sets none (2024 statute text on Justia; the State Bar's instructions agree). Two 30-day waits apply to later steps: a holder may not transfer until 30 days after receiving an affidavit from a personal representative named in the will, and real estate needs 30 days' notice to the heirs before recording. Signed before a notary. The heir signs the transfer-by-affidavit under oath and has it notarized, per Nolo's Wisconsin summary of Wis. Stat. 867.03. Handed to the bank or other holder. Not filed with the court: given to whoever owes the money or holds the property; for real estate, recorded with the register of deeds. PR-1831, Transfer by Affidavit. Wisconsin Court System form, revised 07/2019. Summary assignment (Wis. Stat. 867.02): When the estate is worth $50,000 or less after debts secured by estate property, anyone with standing to petition for administration can ask the court to assign the property summarily. Summary settlement (Wis. Stat. 867.01) is a separate court procedure.
- **How a Wisconsin will had to be signed.** Two witnesses, each signing within a reasonable time after the signing or acknowledgment. Allowed at signing or any time later, before an officer authorized to administer oaths, under official seal. Not recognized unless witnessed: every will must be in writing and signed with two witnesses to be validly executed (Wis. Stat. 853.03). A separate written list can leave certain tangible personal property (853.32). The will stays valid, but gifts to an interested witness or the witness's spouse are invalid beyond an intestate share unless an exception applies.
- **Wisconsin estate ledger (Excel).** Assets, debts, payments and distributions; it compares the countable assets with $50,000 and counts real estate in the person's name.
- **First 30 days, tracker and letters.** The first month in order, a documents and accounts tracker, and plain letters to a bank, a utility and Social Security.
