Terms Used In Wisconsin Statutes 701.0710

  • Property: includes real and personal property. See Wisconsin Statutes 990.01
  • Trustee: A person or institution holding and administering property in trust.

A settlor or transferor may effectively transfer property to a trust by placing legal title of the property in the name of the trustee, which shall include any successor trustee regardless of whether a successor trustee is referenced in the transfer document. A transfer that places legal title in the name of the trust itself places legal title in the name of the trustee.
