Kathy Bach

Attorney

Attorney Kathy Bach practices in the areas of estate planning, probate, and trust administration. In an area of law that can get rather complex, Kathy values simplicity and efficiency. She has had a lot of experience dealing with blended families, unmarried couples and the LGBTQ community. Kathy works with her clients to develop careful estate plans that are sophisticated but no more complicated than necessary to meet the goals of her clients. Her work includes the drafting of wills, simple and complex trusts, powers of attorney, and helping clients through the death of a loved one. In all aspects of her practice, Kathy feels it is important to really listen and assist clients through the process with respect and understanding.

In addition to being an attorney, Kathy is also a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), which helps her complete accountings, advise clients on tax issues and perform financial analysis as it pertains to estate planning issues. She is also a member of the Probate and Trust Sections of the Wisconsin State Bar, which keeps her updated on practice pointers and professional trends throughout the state.

In her free time, Kathy enjoys hiking, sailing, playing the guitar, seeing live music and spending time with her family (especially her grandchildren).

We have had DKB involved and many estate planning and business issues. They are very knowledgeable, good communicators, and a pleasure to work with. I highly encourage you to make that first no obligation appointment.

What Our Clients Have To Say

Kathy Bach was wonderful!!! Clueless to the whole process of handling the affairs of a love one after death, I happened to run across Kathy’s name in an online search on the State Bar of Wisconsin’s website. She took the time to talk with me about my dad’s affairs and the legal processes. I am so grateful for the time she spent and the helpful information.

Thank again Kathy!
