Settling the Estate of a Deceased Loved One
Please first allow me the opportunity to express my condolences for your loss. The emotion surrounding such an event makes its nearly impossible for loved ones to handle the mountain of details that come in the wake of a family death.
Where other states use the term "probate" to describe the legal process of settling a deceased's estate, in Louisiana we use the term "Succession." It is vitally important that the Process of Succession be completed in a timely manner so that heirs may be placed in possession of property, clear title remains in tact on deceased's property, and taxes and debts of the estate are dealt with promptly to avoid costly complications and penalties.
Allow me to help you with your loved one's succession. I can provide you with an easy-to-follow checklist to make this a less overwhelming task. I will prepare all court documents, help you with debt issues, and give you guidance in preserving your loved one's estate for his/her heirs.
