Nothing is certain in life, the old saying goes, but death and taxes. And we’ll admit that, under most circumstances, neither subject is very uplifting to talk about. Nonetheless, both death and taxes – and the financial and legal intersection of the two – are critical topics for all of us, which is why we create this special section each year. As a guide to some of the most highly regarded resources available to meet the needs of local residents, here are the winners in the relevant categories of our most recent Best of the Chippewa Valley Reader Poll.
