Probate Real Estate Guidance

Summary

Probate laws vary by state. In Louisiana, if a person dies without a will, the estate is distributed according to intestate succession laws. As the child of the deceased, you may have a claim to the estate, but the presence of a stepmother and her nieces could complicate matters. The estimated value of the estate, including real estate and bank accounts, will be crucial in determining the probate process. Consulting a probate attorney in Louisiana is advisable to navigate these complexities.
