After the death of your mother or father, you may want to clean out their residence as quickly as possible for emotional or financial reasons. Some children want to get this difficult task finished, and some children need to get the residence ready to sell or to end a lease. 
Begin Succession Before You Take, Sell, or Throw Away Anything
If your parent appointed an executor in their will, the executor must create a list of assets, sell assets to pay succession debts, and distribute assets to the right heirs. Without a named executor, the court will appoint an administrator to fulfill these duties. If you begin removing things from your parent’s home before an inventory is taken, you may inadvertently take something the executor needed to comply with the requirements of Louisiana law and to carry out your parent’s wishes.
In some cases, a succession may proceed without court supervision. If this situation applies, assets may be sold with court permission. However, Louisiana law must still be followed, and an accounting of assets may be due.
