In Wisconsin, the estate executor is known as a "personal representative". Subject to approval of the court, executor fees are set at 2% of the net value of the estate assets, or a rate agreed with the decedent or the majority interest of the heirs.
Probate is used to distribute a decedent's assets not only to beneficiaries but also to creditors and taxing authorities. Any Wisconsin estate that exceeds $50,000 in value must go through the probate process unless the property is subject to certain exemptions.
In general, there are two types of probate formal and informal. Formal probate is what most people think about when they hear the word probate.
Informal probate is the administration of a deceased person's estate without continuous court supervision.Formal probate is required in a number of instances and Wisconsin statutes require the estate's personal representative to procure the assistance of an attorney.
How long does probate take? Probate can take two years, even longer, for a large or contested estate. But the process may last up to six months even for a small, uncomplicated estate.
Formal probate involves a petition , a hearing or trial before a Judge or Court Commissioner who resolves the issues with a final court order . Informal Probate only requires an application, no hearing or trial, and is administered by a court official known as the Probate Registrar .
Pursuant to section 10810 of the California Probate Code, the attorney for the personal representative is compensated for ordinary services on the same statutory fee schedule as the personal representative, that is: 4% of the first $100,000. 3% of the next $100,000. 2% of the next $800,000.

In Wisconsin, you can make a living trust to avoid probate for virtually any asset you own -- real estate, bank accounts, vehicles, and so on. You need to create a trust document (it's similar to a will), naming someone to take over as trustee after your death (called a successor trustee).
