When a close family member dies, you may find yourself dealing with pushy relatives, confusing legal documents, and the Louisiana court system. Suddenly, on top of planning a memorial, you also have to figure out what to do about your loved one’s estate. This can be an overwhelming task, but Scott Law Group - Estate Counsel is ready to help. In fact, when you contact our office in New Orleans’ Central Business District, we’ll tell you what you need to do without charging you a thing!

Contact Us to Discuss Your Estate Situation

Every estate in Louisiana must go through some form of succession, known as probate in other states. For some families, the process is straightforward. For others, it can become more complex depending on the assets involved, family circumstances, and whether a will exists.

If you are unsure what steps to take next, contact us today to find out whether you need an attorney and what the succession process may involve in your situation. If legal assistance is needed and your situation is one our firm can assist with, we will explain your options, outline the process ahead, and guide you through each step. Should a dispute arise between family members, our experienced litigators will represent you in court.

We’re Here for You When You Need Us

Life is unpredictable. It’s impossible to plan ahead to settle a family member’s estate, but you can plan ahead to make sure your own estate is in good shape if something unexpected were to happen to you.
