The Estate Inventory in Wisconsin

After a personal representative is appointed, most states require an inventory of the estate's property — every asset that has come to the representative's possession or knowledge, with its fair market value as of the date of death and any encumbrance against it.

The mechanics vary by state. Most states file the inventory with the court on a deadline that runs from the appointment; a substantial group instead lets the representative send copies to the people entitled to them, with a court filing optional. A few states use appraisers by default; in most, the representative states the values.

Some states publish an official inventory form; where the form is fillable this tool completes it, and where the state publishes none the inventory is composed to the statute's content requirements. Louisiana's instrument is its sworn descriptive list of succession property.

Select your state to prepare the inventory the way your statute prescribes, with the filing or delivery instructions alongside.
