Estate Planning is the process of planning the tax efficient transfer of your assets once you pass away to your loved ones, charities, or other recipients. This ranges from very simple to very complex.
Wills
Everyone has an estate plan. If you do not have a last will and testament or trust, your estate will be governed by Louisiana intestate law. Your preferred plan is likely different than the state’s plan. For example, did you know that without a will your spouse will only receive your separate property if you have no living descendants, siblings, descendants of siblings, or parents? Therefore, most people benefit from designing their own estate plan.
Trusts
Brad writes trusts that serve many different purposes, such as trusts that delay or manage children’s inheritance, trusts that help clients qualify for Medicaid and VA benefits, Special Needs Trusts and Life Insurance Trusts that allow benefits to pass to heirs free of estate tax. Brad also serves as a professional trustee. Brad is very active in the communities in which he practices, as shown by the service organizations, community organizations and associations listed below.
Power of Attorney
A General Power of Attorney allows you to appoint a trusted person to make decisions on your behalf in the event you become unable to make those decisions yourself. These decisions typically include financial matters, such as paying bills and managing bank accounts and investments.
When litigation is necessary, we bring together the talent, personnel, and resources required to achieve the best possible result. We handle actions involving enforcement of creditors’ rights, including collection actions, judicial foreclosures of real property, enforcement of judgments, claims against guarantors and sureties, and actions to enforce personal property security instruments under Article 9 of the Commercial Code.
