Is there anything more depressing than a poorly sliced pizza?

Who gets the big piece? Who gets the small piece? And does a smaller slice with extra toppings make it a fair trade?

Probate can be a lot like that.

Families can spend a tremendous amount of time arguing over who gets which “slice,” even though the estate isn’t getting any bigger.

And the longer the argument continues, the more the costs can eat into everyone’s share.

Sometimes the question isn’t “Who gets the biggest slice?” It’s “Is the fight worth what it’s costing us?”

Happy Birthday to Wanda! Her birthday is this weekend, but we decided to celebrate a little early!

We’re so lucky to have her on our team! She works hard all week as an Intake Specialist, then spends her weekends traveling and cheering on her kids and their activities. Wanda is all about family, and when she’s not busy supporting the people she loves, she enjoys one of her other favorite things, singing!

We don't sing as well, so we are just going to wish you a wonderful birthday, Wanda! We appreciate all that you do!

Years ago, I wanted to run an obituary ad that said:

“If you see your name here today, it’s too late to call us for estate planning.”

Too dark? Maybe. But the point stands.

Nobody calls a probate attorney on their best day.

By the time you reach out, you’ve already lost someone. You’re grieving, dealing with family issues, and trying to navigate an unfamiliar legal system.

That’s why we take what we do seriously. We’re here to make a difficult process a little easier.

We’re proud to be the largest probate practice in Louisiana.

It’s a dark joke, but it’s the truth of what we do.

Part of me hopes you never need our services.

But part of me knows you will.

And when that day comes, we’ll be here.

If you've never dealt with a succession before, here's the simplest way to think about it:

A Louisiana succession is the legal process used to:

- Identify the deceased person's assets
- Address debts and obligations
- Determine who is legally entitled to inherit
- Transfer ownership of the remaining property

In simple terms, a succession is the legal bridge between someone's death and the transfer of their property to the people entitled to receive it.

What happens when someone dies without a will in Louisiana?

The answer isn't simply, "The family gets everything."

When someone dies without a valid will, Louisiana law determines who inherits. The answer can depend on whether the person was married, whether they had children and whether the property was community or separate property.

That's why determining who the legal heirs are is one of the first important steps in an intestate succession.

If you're dealing with the estate of a family member who died without a will, understanding the inheritance rules is a good place to start.

Happy Workiversary, Jane!

Some attorneys bring the heat. Jane brings the entire furnace.

Smart? Absolutely.

Talented? Without question.

Knows her stuff? Ask anyone who has had the misfortune of arguing against her.

She’s warm, thoughtful, and is genuinely great to have around. Until it’s time to fight for a client: that’s when she turns the heat up!

We’re very glad she's on our side.🔥

Happy 3-Year Work Anniversary to our incredible Case Manager, Ava!

She arrives early, stays late, never misses a detail, keeps everything organized, and somehow still has time to help everyone else.

Honestly... we're starting to think there are two of her.

Thanks for three amazing years, Ava!

It's someone's birthday today!

Who? Our amazing Case Manager, Ava.

How old is she?

Nice try.

Her age is protected with more security than Fort Knox. At this point, we're just impressed by the commitment. The only thing we've been able to confirm is that she has a birthday every year.

Happy Birthday to one of the friendliest, hardest-working people we know! We hope your day is full of family, fun, and dreams of your next New York City adventure!
