Re: Interpretation of a statement in a will
The probate judge with jurisdiction over the probate has the last word at the trial level. Wisconsin has two appellate courts, The Court of Appeals and The Supreme Court.
Re: Interpretation of a statement in a will
The court will not unless it is brought to issue. If it is currently being interpreted in an unfavorable way, then challenge it. For assistance, call me directly at 1.619.222.3504 or e-mail me at the address below.

The court can, if someone files a "petition for instructions" asking for an interpretation of the clause.
