FQA
What happens to my property if I don't have a will?
If you pass away without a will your estate will be divided amongst your heirs. This can cause some confusion or issue since Louisiana is a community property state and your spouse may end up owning your home with your children.
Do I write a will with my spouse?
No, a will is specific to the person. Although many people leave everything to their spouse unless they predecease them then it go to their heirs.
Can I save money and time using an online service to prepare my will?
Online services that prepare wills sometimes miss state-specific requirements and if you do use them you still have to bring the documents to a notary to get notarized which in many cases costs the same as if we prepared them for you.
Can I leave my house to my children even if I still have a mortgage on the property?
Yes, they would just have to contact the mortgage company to have the loan modified.
Should I add my child to the deed of my house so my property does not go to the state?
Many people think this is a way to keep your home from going to the "State". If you add a child to the home but you are just adding a second owner. Your interest in the property will still have to be dealt with after you have passed. The best way to distribute your property is by writing a Last Will and Testament. Also, in Orleans parish, if you add a second owner to your home you may lose your homestead exemption and age freeze which will increase your yearly tax liability.
