Experienced Team of Will Succession Lawyers
Known as probate in other states, the succession process in Louisiana is designed to determine how property will be handled after someone dies. We understand the two types of successions in Louisiana, including testates and intestates. A testate refers to an estate with a will. When someone dies without a will, this is considered an intestate. A will succession can occur without a will, but the state is then given the responsibility to determine how property will be transferred to family members.
At Galloway Jefcoat, L.L.P, we offer extensive experience handling succession matters. We have the skills and resources to protect the interests of businesses faced with succession. We also know the right steps to take in informing creditors and heirs of the succession plan. To avoid confusion over how you would like your property transferred, we recommend working with one of our experienced estate planning attorneys to develop a will.
