Louisiana Probate & Succession Lawyers

In Louisiana, the term ‘Succession’ is used to refer to the probate process of distributing the deceased’s property to those who are entitled to the assets. The main purpose of the Louisiana Succession process is to provide those who inherit property with a clear and marketable title for the property he or she inherited.

The Probate Process

The Louisiana probate and succession process (otherwise known as estate administration) involves the legal procedures of settling the deceased’s estate.

Many people believe that if someone dies with a proper last will and testament in place that the probate process is not necessary; unfortunately that is not always true. Our succession lawyers assist surviving family members to account for the deceased’s assets and to properly distribute those assets according to the deceased’s estate plan (if they pass with a will) or state law (if they pass without a will).
