If you need a probate lawyer or estate planning attorney, you've come to the right place. Probate is a court-supervised legal process in which the estate of a deceased person is "settled." This includes distributing assets to beneficiaries, paying off debts, and paying any taxes incurred by the deceased prior to their death or by the estate itself.

Services
Fricker Law Office has provided exceptional legal services for over 60 years. The firm was originally founded by Robert's father, Earle Fricker, in Milwaukee's Sherman Park neighborhood in 1954. The office was located at the corner of North 77th and Burleigh Streets on Milwaukee's west side from 1975 to 2002.
If an individual dies without a Will or other legal document providing basic distribution instructions, the laws of the decedent's home state will direct how the estate assets are distributed. The state courts will select an individual to administer the estate. The state courts will also select an individual to raise any minor children of the decedent.

Our family used Rob to send our sister's estate through Probate Court after her sudden passing. Not only did the whole process go far more smoothly than anticipated, Rob was there the whole way to answer death certificate questions as well as sound advice regarding her real estate. I highly recommend Fricker Law for anyone considering a probate attorney. Thanks to Rob and his team!!!

Attorney Fricker's expertise was invaluable in the handling of the many aspects of my mother's estate. As a result, our family could focus our time and energy on other important concerns. During the initial visit, he explained the process and fees. Consequently there were no surprises and it was a smooth process. He offered several recommendations that were key in the selling of my mother's house and other transactions. Attorney Fricker consistently provided excellent communication relative to answering questions, explaining procedure and rationale and responding promptly to any concerns.

We have used Fricker Law Office for several family issues. The most recent 2 were probate for my mother's estate and sale of her house. These both occurred over the past 6 months. Atty Rob Fricker personally handled both issues for us. They were completed perfectly and timely. His ability to explain related issues is outstanding. He keeps you totally informed throughout the process and makes your role simple and understandable. Personal meetings with him were informative, pleasant and productive.

My parents used Fricker Law for their will. I followed up after my Mother's passing with Bob for Probate. It was the best experience I ever had with an attorney. Bob was efficient and extremely knowledgeable. I would definitely use him again.

Fricker Law Office provided multiple services for us in recent years, including setting up a will, durable power of attorney, and power of attorney for health care for our mother. When she passed away last year, they also executed her will, including liquidating her assets, going through probate, preparing her "year of death" and estate taxes, etc.
There were 4 siblings involved, and Fricker Law Office did a superior job of keeping us all informed of the status of the estate, upcoming steps, documents to sign and return, tax ramifications, and so on. They were prompt, thorough, and in constant

Fricker Law Office has served as our family attorney for as long as I can remember. First his father Earl Fricker and since his death , Rob Fricker has been our family attorney. He has provided advice and guided us through family estates. He is caring, honest, and very competent. I have no question recommending his services.

Attorney Fricker and his efficient staff handled the estates of both my parents: Dad in 2000 and Mom in 2016 with sensitivity and grace. The duties and responsibilities of Personal Representative can sometimes feel overwhelming yet I always felt confident that Fricker Law Office was helping me do all the right things for my siblings. My husband and I also sought Rob's guidance when creating our own Wills, and have recently suggested that our adult children do the same.

It was a pleasure working with Mr. Fricker and his staff. Mr. Fricker was asked to assist with the settlement of a relatives estate. The competent guidance and knowledge provided by Fricker Law Office, made this task much more bearable. Not only did we have property in three states to deal with, we also had several heirs to this estate.
The Fricker Law Office professional demeanor and integrity gave me comfort and confidence in knowing that all matters would be handled in a proficient and timely manner. All work, court appearances and document filing was done efficiently and thoroughly. Mr. Fricker
