When someone passes away, his or her family must often go through a legal process called succession. In essence, it involves the Louisiana courts transferring the deceased person’s property and money to the individuals, charities, or other parties named in the will. If the person died intestate (meaning without a will), the assets will be distributed according to the rights of succession set forth in Louisiana law.
