Wisconsin Statutes Probate (Ch. 851 to 882) § 865.20. Termination of joint tenancy or life estate

(1) As an alternative to ss. 867.04 and 867.045, the personal representative may file with the probate registrar a verified statement describing property in which the decedent had an interest as joint tenant or life tenant, including the recording data, if any, of the document creating the joint tenancy or life estate. Valuations need not be set forth in the statement.

(2) Upon being filed with the probate registrar, the statement shall be presumed to be evidence of the facts recited and of the termination of the decedent's interest in the property listed on it as if a certificate terminating joint tenancy or life estate had been issued by the court under s. 867.04. If the statement describes an interest in real property or a debt which is secured by an interest in real property a certified copy or duplicate original of the statement may be recorded in the office of the register of deeds in each county in this state in which real property is located. This statement does not release any death tax lien.
