Do you need a will? The
answer to that question depends on our own unique circumstances.
If you do not have a will, Louisiana law decides
who will inherit from you. If you want
to decide who inherits from you, you should have a will
drawn up.
A will can also be used to name a guardian to care for your minor
children in the event of your untimely death. Such a
provision in a will makes it clear to the court your preference for the
care of your minor children in the event of your untimely death.
A will can serve many purposes, including ensuring children and/or
grandchildren are provided for and to minimize taxes your heirs would
have to pay.
It is important to note that most wills purchased in stores or online
are not
valid wills in Louisiana. You should consult with
an attorney if you want to draw up a will as the costs of preparing a
will is minimal compared to the potential costs involved if a will is
prepared improperly.
