Empowering Families and Protecting Legacies in Appleton

At Schubert Law Office, LLC, we help people create the right future. Established in 2003 by Attorney Mark D. Schubert, our boutique law firm focuses exclusively on basic and advanced estate planning, probate, trust settlement, and elder law. We do not believe in cookie-cutter legal documents or computerized fill-in-the-blank templates. Instead, we combine advanced legal technologies with decades of specialized experience to deliver highly customized legal frameworks that fit your specific financial goals and family dynamics.

Strategic Wills, Living Trusts, and Asset Preservation

A comprehensive estate plan is a dynamic tool designed to protect your hard-earned assets and ensure your wishes are carried out with absolute precision. Our experienced wills and trusts lawyers work closely with you to analyze your estate, minimize potential taxes, and prevent probate court delays. Our primary estate planning services in Appleton include:

• Customized Wills: Formally establishing who will inherit your belongings and appointing trusted guardians for minor children.
• Revocable Living Trusts: Protecting your privacy, managing your assets during your lifetime, and allowing your beneficiaries to bypass the lengthy and costly Wisconsin probate process.
• Advanced Tax Planning: Implementing sophisticated trust structures to minimize federal estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer taxes.
• Asset Protection Strategies: Structuring your estate to shield your hard-earned assets from future creditors, lawsuits, or bankruptcy.

We are dedicated to helping families throughout Northeast Wisconsin construct a resilient foundation that will stand the test of time, providing absolute peace of mind for generations to come.

Comprehensive Powers of Attorney and Elder Law Navigation

Estate planning is as much about protecting yourself during your lifetime as it is about distributing assets after death. If you become incapacitated due to illness or injury, your next of kin does not have the automatic legal right to manage your financial or medical affairs in Wisconsin. Our skilled power of attorney lawyers help you draft robust directives to protect your dignity, including:

• Durable Financial Powers of Attorney: Appointing a trusted agent to pay bills, manage properties, and manage business interests in your absence.
• Healthcare Powers of Attorney: Appointing an advocate to make medical choices for you when you are unable to speak for yourself.
• Medicaid and Long-Term Care Planning: Assisting seniors and their families in navigating nursing home costs while proactively structured assets to qualify for Medicaid Title 19 benefits without depleting your life savings.

By implementing these crucial protections, you shield your family from the stress and expense of court-supervised guardianship proceedings during an already difficult time.

Full-Service Probate and Trust Settlement Support

Losing a loved one is a profound emotional experience, and the legal responsibilities of administering their estate can feel overwhelming. Our compassionate probate lawyers provide comprehensive guidance throughout the estate and trust settlement process. We assist personal representatives, executors, and trustees in fulfilling their fiduciary duties, from filing court paperwork and inventorying assets to resolving creditor claims and distributing inheritance. We focus on efficiency and accuracy, helping you settle the estate as quickly and smoothly as possible.
