Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need a will if I don’t have many assets?

    Yes. A will ensures your property, no matter how large or small, is distributed according to your wishes and prevents unnecessary legal complications for your loved ones.

  • What is the difference between a will and a trust?

     A will dictates how your assets are distributed after you pass away, while a trust allows you to transfer assets during your lifetime and provides more control over how they are managed.

  • Who should I name as my executor?

     Your executor should be a responsible, trustworthy person who can manage your estate, handle legal processes, and carry out your final wishes.

  • Can I update my will?

    Yes. Life changes such as marriage, divorce, birth of a child, or acquiring new assets may require updates to your estate plan. We recommend reviewing your documents regularly.

  • What happens if I pass without a will?

    If you die without a will, Louisiana’s intestacy laws determine how your assets are distributed, which may not align with your wishes. Creating a will ensures your estate is handled according to your preferences.
