Probabe Reform Bill Voted Down in Wisconsin Assembly
The Wisconsin Assembly defeated a probate reform bill 67 to 31. The measure would have required county officials to handle estates under 30 000 dollars using a short form will without an attorney, shifting costs to counties and potentially reducing attorney fees. Critics said it was poorly drafted and would burden counties like Milwaukee Dane and Wood, while some accused it of gimmickry and socialist aims.
