Our Succession & Probate FAQ

You may not even know what questions to ask when a loved one has died in Louisiana, but our succession and probate FAQs are a good place to start. We provide detailed answers to some of the most common questions we get from our succession clients, and we invite you to browse for the information you need when settling a loved one’s estate. If your specific questions are not answered here, please feel free to call us.
