Ancillary Succession in Louisiana for Out-of-State Heirs
If a loved one passed away in another state but owned real estate or property in Louisiana, their heirs must go through a Louisiana ancillary succession before that property can be legally transferred. This applies even if the estate was fully probated in another state.
Richard Wolff at Wolf The Lawyer handles ancillary succession proceedings for out-of-state heirs across all Louisiana parishes — entirely by phone or video. You do not need to travel to Louisiana to work with Richard.
Why Ancillary Succession Is Required
Louisiana courts have jurisdiction over all real property located within the state. Even if a deceased person lived in Texas, Florida, Georgia, or any other state, their Louisiana property must be transferred through the Louisiana court system.
