I HAVE A WILL LEFT TO ME IN MY NAME AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

I practice law in IL so please consult an attorney in your home state for the laws specific to WI. When you state there's a will left to you in your name, I am assuming you mean you were named the Executor in the will.  The Executor is the person named in the will to carry out the wishes of the person who died.  So this named Executor follows the instructions given in the will and makes sure everyone named therein gets his/her "stuff."  The Executor administers the estate....so he/she pays the taxes, pays any allowed claims filed against the estate, takes care of any property or sales such if necessary, etc. When someone dies and leaves a will, that will has to be filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court and proved as valid to open the estate and allow for the carrying forth of the instructions set forth in the will (Probating the Will).  So your first step is to ensure that the will in your possession gets filed.  So you've got to find out where the courthouse is, find the office of the clerk and file the will.  Depending on the size of the estate left (meaning what's the value of all the "stuff" left behind by the individual who died), you may choose to open a probate estate or utilize a small estate affidavit.  Typically a probate estate would need to be opened if there is real estate involved and or the estate is valued at more than $100,000.00.  A Small Estate Affidavit can be utilized when the estate has no real estate, no claims are filed against the estate and the value of the total  assets is under $100,000.00.  You advised you have the documents and want someone to look them over so I recommend you look in your local yellow pages for an attorney who specializes in Probate Law.  A Probate Attorney will be able to assist you in determining whether you need to open a probate estate or use some other vehicle to administer the estate.
