WSLL Recommends: Wisconsin Trust Code
The new Wisconsin Trust Code took full effect on July 1st, 2014. If you're still wrapping your mind around the impact of 2013 Act 92, you'll want to use the State Bar of Wisconsin's 2014 Wisconsin Trust Code: with Legislative Reference Bureau Analysis. With the major overhaul to Wis. Stat. ch. 701, this slender code book brings together all the text of the relevant statutes, previous code, and legislative changes in one convenient reprinted reference. It also includes the Legislative Reference Bureau's analysis of 2013 SB 384 and the Legislative Council's Amendment Memo for 2013 SB 384.
For a discussion of the these new laws, we recommend the article Estate Planning Metamorphosis: Wisconsin's New Trust Code, 87 Wis. Lawyer 6 (2014).
