New Orleans, Louisiana, Successions Attorneys
Successions and Probate Information From a Trusted Firm
Dealing with the death of a loved one is a traumatic experience in and of itself. However, the addition of legal details such as how the estate is to be handled can increase the amount of stress placed on an individual or family. In Louisiana, the process through which estates are addressed is called succession. A succession is a legal proceeding where the heirs and beneficiaries of an estate are recognized, the estate's property is identified, and any existing will is probated.
If you are dealing with succession and have concerns about the estate of a recently deceased loved one, turn to our legal team and support staff at Salley & Salley, Attorneys at Law, in Metairie, Louisiana. Lead by the experienced mother-daughter team of Sandra Salley and Laurel Salley, our firm is able to provide clients with tailored advice and guidance in a wide range of family law issues, including successions.
Contact our successions lawyers at Salley & Salley at 504-837-5499 today to discuss your case, questions and options.
Real estate issues are the most common matters that are dealt with during the succession process. A clean title to the property is important for the heirs and the title must be of public record. This can allow transactions to occur regarding the property without leaving out any of the heirs.
- Also, debts must be recorded and paid by the estate through the succession process.
- Bank notes, bonds, stocks and other investments must be listed as well or the financial institution may not be responsible for paying dividends or proceeds to the heirs.
Regardless of the size of the estate, our firm can assist you in a variety of capacities throughout the succession process. We are able to sit down with our clients, review their situations and construct a plan for seeking a resolution to all of the issues that may have stemmed from the estate.
