How foreclosure works in Wisconsin
Wisconsin is a judicial foreclosure state. After the court enters judgment, there's a redemption period before the sheriff's sale. For an owner-occupied one- to four-family home it's generally 12 months, or 6 months if the lender gives up a deficiency judgment. The house can't be sold until that period ends.
What that means for you: Wisconsin foreclosures are slow, which gives you room to sell and keep your equity instead of losing it at a sheriff's sale.
Inherited houses and probate in Wisconsin
Probate is handled through the Register in Probate of the county circuit court.
- Transfer by affidavit: if the probate assets total $50,000 or less, heirs can transfer them by affidavit, including real estate, after giving other heirs 30 days' notice.
- Transfer on death: Wisconsin lets owners record a TOD designation for real estate, so the house passes to the named beneficiary without probate.

Transfer fee
Wisconsin's real estate transfer fee is $3 per $1,000 of value (0.3%). It's charged to the seller and paid when the deed is recorded.
Wisconsin landlords
For unpaid rent on a month-to-month tenancy, a landlord generally gives a five-day notice to pay or vacate. If the tenant falls behind again within a year, it becomes a 14-day notice to vacate. If you're done with it, we buy with tenants in place.
