In this video, our Wisconsin elder law attorney explain Asset Security, Implications for Taxation, Independent Trustees, and more regarding estate taxes for irrevocable trusts in the state of Wisconsin. Irrevocable trusts in Wisconsin enable beneficiaries to escape probate and various forms of taxes after the grantor passes away. If the grantor is still alive, his properties are passed to a trustee. The trustee is in charge of the assets' management. In most cases, once assets are deposited in a trust, they cannot be taken out, according to Wisconsin law.
