Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Louisiana forced heirship law?
Louisiana Civil Code Article 1493 requires that a portion of an estate be reserved for children under age 24 or those with permanent disabilities. This rule does not apply in most other states. An estate planning attorney can explain how this affects your will.
Do I need a notary for a Louisiana will?
Yes Louisiana requires a notary and two witnesses for a valid statutory will under Louisiana Civil Code Article 1576. A self-proving affidavit may also be needed to avoid probate delays. Your attorney will handle these formalities.
How long does Louisiana probate take?
Louisiana probate typically takes 6 to 12 months for an uncontested estate. The process includes filing a petition publishing notice and settling debts. An attorney can help you navigate the Jefferson Parish court system in Gretna.
