Estate and elder law in Milwaukee

Plans written so your family can follow them

Antonia Szymanski writes wills, trusts and powers of attorney, guides executors through probate, and helps grown children step in when a parent can't manage alone. You'll know the fee, in writing, before any work starts.

Book a first meetingSee how it works

  • 4 documents

    in most plans: a will, a trust, two powers of attorney

  • 2 meetings

    one to listen, one to sign

  • 1 binder

    with every original, and a copy for your executor

  • 1 lawyer

    from the first call to the last signature

In their words

What families told us afterward

“My mother had put off her will for twenty years. Antonia came to her apartment, read every page aloud with her, and Mom signed that same afternoon.”

Lucinda P.Helped her mother sign a will

“When my dad died I didn't know what probate was. She gave me a list, one step a week, and told me which steps were mine and which were hers.”

Jerome K.Executor of his father's estate

“Our son has a disability. The trust she wrote lets us leave him something without touching his benefits, and she explained it until we could explain it back.”

Bernadette V.Parent, planned a trust for her son

Shared with permission. Every family and every estate is different, and what we did for one says nothing certain about yours.

Who comes to us

Couples, parents, and the grown kids who look out for them

Most people come in because someone they love asked them to. These are the moments that usually start it.

An older couple walks arm in arm along a cobbled lane, the man with a cane
When forty years of marriage need one plan for both
An older woman in glasses laughs over coffee with a younger woman at a table
When a mother wants her daughter able to speak for her
A woman helps a small boy pour milk into a bowl at a kitchen table while a toddler watches
When the children are small and need a named guardian
A smiling woman in glasses holds a cup of tea and waves at a laptop at her kitchen table
When the first meeting happens by video, from home
Two older people in veterans caps and jackets sit outdoors among small American flags
When veterans want their benefits and their will to agree
A smiling woman holds up a set of keys beside a man in a room with moving boxes
When a parent downsizes and the deed has to change
An older woman sips from a cup at her kitchen table across from another person
When long-term care is close and the savings need a plan
A smiling woman hugs a man from behind and holds up a house key
When a new house should go straight into the trust

Practice

Where are you starting from?

Most people arrive in one of three places. Each has its own page, written in plain words.

  • Planning ahead

    Wills, living trusts, and powers of attorney for money and health care, for single people, couples, and parents of young children.

    Wills and trusts

  • After a death

    Help for whoever was named executor: opening the estate, paying the last bills, and getting the house and accounts to the right people.

    Probate

  • When a parent needs help

    Guardianship when no power of attorney was signed in time, and Medicaid planning when a nursing home is on the horizon.

    Guardianship and Medicaid

Your lawyer

The person who drafts it is the one you sign with

This is a one-lawyer practice on purpose. Antonia takes your first call, writes every document herself, and sits beside you at the signing. When something changes in five years, she's still the one who answers.

An hour to start

A first meeting is an hour, in the office, at home or by video. You'll leave knowing what you need, what you don't, and what it would cost.
