Estate Planning
A good estate plan doesn’t just cover what happens to your wealth and belongings after you die. Your plan should also deal with who would have the legal authority to help you if you were unable to make your own decisions while you are alive.

Medicaid / VA Planning
Paying for long-term care is expensive. Medicaid or VA Benefits may be able to save you a fortune. The government has taken enough of your money! Don’t let them get the rest.
Special Needs
If you have a disabled relative, you need to be particularly careful with your will, especially if your relative is unable to manage money. You don’t want to put a loved one’s public benefits, especially their health insurance, at risk. Louisiana law says a disabled child is a forced heir: you have to leave them something, and you can leave it to them in a manner that does not jeopardize their benefits. Special needs planning ensures that your disabled loved one is protected once you’re gone.
Successions:
After someone dies, the heirs do not automatically get their inheritance. Heirs must go through a legal process called a succession in order to get their inheritance. The good news is that in Louisiana, thanks to the Napoleonic Code and our unique laws, a succession can be done much faster than in many other states.
