Small Succession by Affidavit in Louisiana
Louisiana offers a simplified legal option for small estates called a small succession by affidavit. If your loved one passed away without a will and their estate is valued at $125,000 or less, you may be able to transfer property — including a home, vehicle, or bank account — without opening a full court succession.
This process is faster, more affordable, and less stressful than a traditional succession, and Richard Wolff at Wolf The Lawyer can handle it entirely virtually.
