Aug. 4, 2010 – Marital Property Law in Wisconsin has been a leading source of information regarding Wisconsin’s community property system since the mid 1980s, educating and guiding attorneys and judges on marital property matters. Now, for the first time in more than five years, this book has been revised to incorporate information about recent case law and legislative developments affecting marital property law in Wisconsin.
The fourth edition of Marital Property Law in Wisconsin thoroughly explains Wisconsin’s community property system and provides guidance on all aspects of this complex area of state law. The authors provide attorneys with a brief history of Wisconsin’s law and an in-depth analysis of the basic principles of marital property law, as well as examples and sample agreements that illustrate how marital property law operates in Wisconsin and in other community property states.
Because marital property questions can arise in many different situations, this book is a comprehensive resource that will assist both seasoned and inexperienced practitioners in advising clients on issues related to bankruptcy, credit transactions, taxes, and estate planning. The authors thoroughly dissect such complicated areas as the ownership of life insurance policies, lenders’ and creditors’ rights, and the interplay of the marital property law and family law and discuss recent case law developments including bankruptcy law restrictions on attorneys, spouses’ rights under employee-benefit plans, marital property agreements, divisibility of assets, and exclusivity of the Marital Property Act’s remedies.
This three-volume set provides references to relevant tax publications and legislative materials and includes a comprehensive index that makes finding information on a specific topic easy. Whether you are a family, probate and estate planning, or tax law attorney or a general practitioner, this book will introduce and guide you through the often unfamiliar terrain of marital property law.
The new edition of Marital Property Law in Wisconsin is available to members for $220 plus tax, shipping, and handling. Purchasers who subscribe to the State Bar of Wisconsin’s auto-supplementation service will receive future updates for 10 percent off the regular price. This title is also available in electronic format as part of the State Bar’s new online library, Books UnBound™.
