Estate Planning

Louisiana Estate Planning

We offer estate planning legal services which include Last Will and Testament, Living Wills (also referred to as Dying Declarations), Irrevocable Trusts, General Power of Attorney, Durable Power of Attorney, Limited Power of Attorney, Healthcare Power of Attorney, Springing Power of Attorney, and the probate of Successions, both simple and under administration. 

Our lawyers can help you prepare your estate to ensure that your assets are protected. A well prepared estate can ensure that your assets are investments in future generations. This can be achieved through employing several different entities and instruments such as a Living Trust or a Testamentary Trust or LLCs and corporations. 

A properly prepared will can provide your loved ones with a set of directions. Our office will provide something greater: an estate plan which can be a map.

We offer free consultations where you will sit down with a lawyer who can explain all of your options including benefits, disadvantages, and costs. 

What is the difference between a Living Trust and a Testamentary Trust?

A Living Trust is established and exists while you are alive. Whereas, a Testamentary Trust is created in your Last Will and Testament and only comes into existence upon your passing. Both can be used to protect assets for children while providing your surviving spouse with the authority necessary to grow your estate. Which one is better depends on your situation.

How often should you review your estate plan?

Our office offers free yearly estate planning review sessions. During our free estate planning review session a lawyer will compare your current will and estate planning to your desired intentions to ensure that those are aligned.
