Withdrawing a Will In Safekeeping In Wisconsin

Wisconsin State Government, Jun 01, 2007

If you need to withdraw your original Will that you filed with the Register in Probate for safekeeping, you will need to show proper identification and provide the original receipt you were given when you originally filed the Will.

Only the person who wrote the Will or their written designee can remove the Will from safekeeping. The written designation must be signed by the person who wrote the Will and witnesses by two additional persons other than the person who will be withdrawing the Will from safekeeping.

If you withdraw your original Will and replace it with a new Will on the same day, there is not additional charge. However, if you withdraw your original Will and file another Will at a later date, there is an additional $10 charge.
