Create a Will That Reflects Your Wishes

A properly written will ensures your property goes where it should and your loved ones aren’t left with confusion or conflict.

What a Will Does

A will lets you:


  • Decide who receives your property after death

  • Name a guardian for minor children

  • Choose an executor to carry out your wishes


  • Avoid default Louisiana succession laws



Why Louisiana Wills Are Different

Louisiana law has unique rules around forced heirship, community property, and olographic wills. We’ll make sure your will meets every legal requirement — and actually does what you want it to do.

When You Should Write or Update a Will

  • Buying a home or land

  • Getting married or divorced

  • Having children

  • Inheriting property

  • Starting or selling a business

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need a lawyer to write a will in Louisiana?

    No, but having a lawyer ensures it’s valid under Louisiana law and clearly reflects your wishes without confusion.

  • What happens if I die without a will?

    The state decides who inherits your assets, which may not align with what you would have chosen.

  • Can I name a guardian for my kids in my will?

    Yes — and that’s one of the most important reasons to have one if you have minor children.
