Every person needs a legal last will and testament to record their final wishes, but that doesn’t mean it has to be complicated or expensive. Attorney Camille Patti can help families and individuals avoid the pitfalls and complexities of not having a detailed will in place. Her knowledge and advice empower you to make the best decisions regarding your final wishes for assets and other matters.
In our digital age, far too many people choose to use a generic downloadable will document from the internet as their last will and testament. This is a serious mistake, as there are strict rules for notarial testaments in Louisiana and courts may declare such a will invalid and unenforceable if it violates the form requirements of a notarial will or is otherwise contrary to Louisiana law.
Other pitfalls New Orleans families can often encounter include:
A properly executed will can prevent many disputes and questions during the succession process. Moreover, if you die without a will, the laws of intestate succession determine how your assets are distributed, which may go against your wishes and cannot be disputed.
When a person dies with or without a will in Louisiana, the estate must be administered through the succession process to determine what happens to the decedent’s assets. This process is much smoother when a legally executed will is in place. Family Law Attorney Camille Patti can help you craft a secure and detailed will that includes all the custom measures you require for your final instructions.
