Half and half?
In community property states like Wisconsin, a marriage is treated as an equal partnership. By default, each spouse is entitled to half of the assets acquired by either spouse during the marriage. A marital property agreement (MPA) enables couples to ensure that property will be dispensed according to their wishes instead of the default 50/50 allocation. That’s why MPAs are essential tools for estate planners in Wisconsin.
At Marital Property Agreements for Estate Planning, Reg Wydeven will provide tips on using MPAs as part of a comprehensive estate planning strategy. You’ll learn how MPAs can help protect your clients’ wishes, whether their marriage ends in divorce, separation, or the death of one spouse.
Enhance your understanding of how asset classification can impact your clients’ estate plans. You’ll also review the circumstances in which MPAs may be particularly important, such as when there’s a family business, significant assets or debts, or children from prior relationships.
Marital Property Agreements for Estate Planning will help you ensure your clients’ wishes are honored in the event of a dissolution of marriage or death.
