When a person dies in Louisiana and leaves behind assets that need to be transferred into someone else’s possession a Succession is generally opened. This process is called Probate in other states There are different types of Successions in Louisiana which include: Intestate Succession There is no will and assets are distributed according to the laws of Louisiana which gives preference to children and surviving spouses. Testamentary Succession A will has been left and the named hairs are put into possession Affidavit for Small Succession A legal affidavit that distributes assets when the total value of the Succession is under $125,000 and there is little-to-no debt. It is important to note that not all assets go through the Succession.
