Was working on a succession recently. Everyone assumed the deceased had never signed a Will. While we were in the middle of the succession, someone produced - but did not file - a copy of a purported last will and testament of the deceased. Now what happens?
Louisiana Succession procedure law provides that if you have possession of a document purporting to be the testament of a deceased person, even if you do not believe the will is valid, you must present it to the court requesting it be filed in the succession record.
Be aware, however, that your presenting the Will does not mean you vouch for its validity, nor are you precluded from asserting its invalidity.
If you have any general questions about successions, post a comment and we'll do our best to answer your questions. If you like to inquire - at no cost - about our estate administration legal services, simply give our office a call at 225-329-2450, or send me an email at paul@rabalaislaw.com. Make sure you put in your subject line: Need Succession Help.

This information is really good and I will say will always be helpful if we try it risk free. So if you can back it up. That will really help us all. And this might bring some good repute to you.

I think it might be safe to say that the hatch is about one body-length above the ground.
