How Do I Change My Will in Wisconsin? People who have a Will that no longer reflects their intentions can change it. There are two basic ways to change a will: (1) by writing a new Will; or (2) by amending a current Will with a codicil. Creating a new Will has become the preferred way to change an estate plan.

In order for your will to be official, you must sign your will in front of two witnesses. The two witnesses must also sign the document. Wisconsin's regulations don't require a notary present for legalization. On the other hand, expediting the probate process does require a notary for the will.

How do I do this? A "discretionary change of venue" (Wisconsin Statute 801.52) changes "the venue to any county in the interest of justice or for the convenience of the parties or witnesses..." To seek this, you would first need to file a motion for change of venue in your current county.

In Wisconsin, you must sign a will in the conscious presence of two witnesses in order for the will to be valid. The witnesses may be any persons who are competent to testify at the time that they witness your signature.

Grounds for Contesting a Will in Wisconsin The Will does not comply with the state's legal requirements by, for example, not having enough witnesses or having a witness that was also a beneficiary. Ambiguous provisions exist. The Will was revoked. A new Will exists.
