Wills

All adults in Louisiana should have a will. Writing a will is complex and requires expert knowledge of the law. If a will is drafted incorrectly, it may be invalid, leaving the deceased’s estate to be distributed by operation of law as though he/she did not have a will. Our legal team can draft a proper will, including trusts when necessary, and make sure it is properly signed, witnessed and notarized. We also handle Powers of Attorney, Living Wills, and Custody by Mandate.
