Louisiana issues regarding wills & successions

Our Louisiana Napoleonic code makes the practice of family law much different than in other areas of the country. In Louisiana, the laws regarding wills and the succession of property and assets are both highly specific and very strict. Without a properly executed will, you may be surprised who will inherit your prized heirlooms and property.

By consulting Rudd Law Firm, you can feel more confident that your wishes be followed, and your loved ones will be protected.

3 Great Reasons You Need A Will & Succession Plan:

1. Ensure the order of succession. You may be surprised to know that in Louisiana, if there is no will, your separate property goes to your nieces and nephews BEFORE your spouse if there are no children.
2. Ensure legal enforcement of your wishes. Perhaps you told someone your final wishes, but without having your desires in a legal document, it is far less likely that your loved ones will be able to execute them.
3. Choose a guardian for your children. If tragedy occurs and your children are left without parents, a will guarantees that they will be taken care of by the responsible party you select.
