Estate Planning

Protect your family. Preserve your legacy.

A thoughtful estate plan ensures your children are cared for by the people you choose, your assets are protected, and your wishes are followed with precision — not left to a court to decide.

Whether you’re a parent who needs to know your kids are in trusted hands, or you’ve worked hard to build something meaningful and want to make sure it passes the right way to the right people, we’re here to help you put a plan in place that actually works. We offer simple, flat-fee structures, so you can plan for the investment in advance.

Louisiana estate planning is different.

Louisiana is a civil law state, and our rules don’t look like what you might find on most national websites. We use unique systems that include forced heirship, usufruct and naked ownership, community property, and specific formalities required for a valid testament (aka “will”). We know these rules, and we explain them in plain language to help you decide the best way to protect your family and assets.

What we do

•       Wills

•       Trusts (for probate avoidance, asset protection, and planning for minor or vulnerable heirs)

•       Powers of attorney

•       Healthcare directives and living wills

•       Business succession planning

What people often don’t realize

Internet forms are risky in Louisiana. A “will” that’s typed and then partly filled in by hand often fails our state’s formalities and could be declared invalid.

The real cost isn’t the plan. It’s court, after you are passed. A small investment in a properly drafted estate plan can save your family thousands in future court costs, attorney’s fees, and delays.

Guardianship doesn’t take care of itself. If you have minor children and you haven’t named who raises them if something happens to you, Louisiana courts will decide. A clear plan keeps that decision yours.

Let’s talk.

When you are ready, we will sit down with you, listen, ask the right questions, and build a plan that fits your family and your life.
