What does a estate planning lawyer do?

Estate planning and probate lawyers prepare wills, trusts, powers of attorney and health care directives so your wishes are followed and your family is protected. After a death, they guide executors and heirs through probate court, settle debts and distribute the estate.

Before you hire a estate planning lawyer in Louisiana

  • Confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with the Louisiana state bar.
  • Ask how long they have handled estate planning matters and how often they go to court.
  • Ask how fees work: hourly, flat fee or contingency, and what costs are extra.
  • Ask who will handle your case day to day and how you will get updates.
  • Get the fee agreement in writing before any work begins.
