Facts about Wills in Louisiana:

• If you or your spouse should die while your children are considered minors by law, then your spouse will not inherit anything and it will all go to your children.
• Nieces and nephews inherit separate property before a spouse.

What are the benefits of having a correctly drafted will?

• With a correctly drafted will, you have the ability to change the order of succession that would be decided for you in the absence of a will.
• You can choose a guardian for your minor children.
• Most importantly, with a will you can be absolutely certain that in the event of your death, your decisions about your estate will be legal enforced.
