Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Wisconsin

I could not answer this question without knowing more about how many beneficiaries there are. If only one, then the summary assignment of small estate procedure might work. If there are other potential beneficiaries who might complain or creditors, however, then the final probate distribution order from an estate proceeding might be well worth the trouble so long as you have already come this far. Creditors, for example, can otherwise sue you personally to the extent that your receive assets under the summary assignment.
