Probate in Tangipahoa Parish doesn’t have to be complicated—but delays are common when the process isn’t handled properly. At Scott | Vicknair Law, Estate & Probate Division, we’ve helped many families in Hammond avoid unnecessary setbacks.
Here’s what causes delays—and how we keep your succession on track.
1. Incomplete or Incorrect Paperwork
The 21st Judicial District Court has strict documentation requirements. One missing signature or heir can set your case back weeks. We make sure everything is filed correctly the first time.
2. Family Conflicts or Miscommunication
If heirs disagree over the estate or don’t understand the process, delays often follow. We offer clear guidance and can serve as a neutral estate administrator to reduce conflict.
3. Trying to Handle Probate Without Legal Help
Even small mistakes in the succession process can have major legal consequences. We’ve seen families attempt DIY successions that result in re-filings, lost time, and costly errors.
4. Working With a Lawyer Who Doesn’t Know the Local Court
We routinely handle successions in the Amite courthouse. Our familiarity with the court system helps avoid roadblocks that others miss.
