The holiday season is most commonly considered a time for family and celebration, but the season also marks the end of the year, a time when reflection on the events, challenges, and accomplishments of the year can lead to insights and inspiration for the new year to come.

At Sable Law Group Wisconsin, we are so thankful for the opportunity to share information, provide support, and empower communities.

We’ve compiled these stories from our Tales of Probate series not to scare you (although it is Halloween after all) but to illustrate how estate planning, or lack thereof, affects families just like yours.

With a lot of people offering their input and opinions, and so many people who pass away without estate plans and wills, being the executor of an estate can be overwhelming. However, there are ways to approach the process with clarity, and that approach starts with setting clear, reasonable expectations for yourself and the beneficiaries of the estate.

Some people aren’t sure if the CTA impacts them, and even more people are curious about how the CTA affects their estates and trust.

The Fourth of July is most often associated with family and fireworks. So, as you’re grilling hot dogs and burgers or lighting sparklers and firecrackers, we want to remind you that one of the most important things you can do for your family is be proactive with your estate planning.

We’ve decided to explore Estate Planning with a summer series, Estate Planning and Probate: Tips and Tales! In the series, we’ll share estate planning tips and resources, as well as stories and experiences from the field. These stories are inspired by real cases in an effort to share the challenges and triumphs of real people navigating their way through estate planning and probate.

There’s nothing more important in community development than engaging local business owners and community residents in leading the initiatives that shape our neighborhoods. With that in mind, Adella Deacon, real estate investor and owner of Sable Law Group Wisconsin, put her name forward in the recent board elections for BID 32, the North Avenue Marketplace.

Estate Planning requires a lot of decision making. Many of the choices you need to make affect you and your family in different ways, especially as it relates to taxes. Information is the best defense against feelings of overwhelm and confusion as you navigate the process of how to best transfer your assets to your heirs and grantees.

Entrepreneurship is a thrilling and challenging journey, and though many people have excellent ideas for startups and new ventures, knowing where to start can be overwhelming and choosing an ineffective structure can cost you in the long run.

One of the first steps in forming a business is knowing what kind of structure to use.

No one likes to think about their death or the death of a loved one, and even fewer people like to think about the possibility of becoming incapacitated. Yet, you can ease some of the fear and anxiety common to those outcomes by taking action to protect your assets and guide your loved ones with a planned process for settling your affairs.

While we’re toasting to an abundant new year and making our resolutions to eat better, work out more, and finish the projects we start, we can’t forget that the beginning of new year often brings new rules and requirements for how we do business. This year, a new law encouraging transparency in small business ownership is taking effect.

The holiday season puts most people in the mind of winding down, but at Sable Law Group Wisconsin, we’re gearing up!
