Legal Answers
736 Questions Answered
Q. How to verify and address a child's potential missed inheritance in Louisiana?
A: The deceased's will and his succession pleadings would be filed in the record of his estate at the parish courthouse of the parish where he lived or owned property. These documents should state whether your son was included in the will.
Q. Life insurance beneficiary change by niece without notice; mother in LA diagnosed with dementia.
A: You need to speak with an attorney immediately to discuss your, and your mother's, rights. I would suggest perhaps filing to have your mother provisionally interdicted and attack her competency now, before your mother passes away. Once she's deceased, it will be more difficult to prove her incompetence. If the judge agrees she should be provisionally interdicted, then the person appointed by the court to handle your mother's affairs can attack the actions of your sister.
Q. Is it parental kidnapping if my husband refuses to give me his new address without custody agreement?
A: No, it's not kidnapping because both of you have equal parental rights. If you anticipate that there may be problems developing, you may want to consider speaking with an attorney about filing a petition for the court to determine custody, so that there will be an enforceable judgment. The court will very likely agree that the two of you are entitled to know where the children will be staying while with the other parent.
