Louisiana has very strict rules that
control who inherits property after someone dies.
If there is no will, Louisiana decides who inherits from
someone who has passed away. If there is a valid will, the
will controls who inherits from a decedent.
Successions in Louisiana are either intestate or testate.
If a person dies without a will, the succession is intestate.
If a person dies with a will, the succession is
testate.
Whether a formal succession is needed depends on the type of property
owned and whether the decedent had a will.
If someone you love has recently passed away, you should consult with
an attorney to determine whether a succession should be filed.
