Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Wisconsin

Unless someone contests the will, the answer is "yes,"it likely is valid in WI. While either marriage or a divorce can often invalidate a will, the courts will not look into this issue on their own. You should therefore hire a lawyer to contest this outcome if you (or anyone else) is unhappy with the old will and its disposition of assets. A contest may not be worth it, however, unless there are substantial assets.
