Q. How to transfer vehicle title after mother's death in Louisiana?

March 25, 2025

A: My recommendation is that her husband go to a local Office of Motor Vehicles and ask what is needed. The general rule is as attorney Tournet stated----transfer via succession/probate proceeding. That said, I believe the State and Office of Motor Vehicles has a procedure for transfer without a will can be done if all persons who would have an ownership interest based on the deceased's death would sign an affidavit requesting /agreeing that the husband should be titled the vehicle----the Office of Motor Vehicles probably has some sort of form they approve for you yto use, however, depending on your mother's estate and whether or not her husband and her 3 children are in agreement, the form may not be applicable---or just as much trouble as a succession/probate proceeding. ...

Q. Could I go to jail for a car accident without insurance in Louisiana?

March 25, 2025

A: Based on your post, I doubt you would go to jail and/or be threatened with jail. As for legal trouble, there is the possibility of traffic citations being issued to you although generally they are issued at the scene. Another possibility is a civil claim being made against you depending on the facts and circumstances of why you were not driving your vehicle, however not enough information is provided in your post to provide a substantive opinion about this. If you repair your vehicle I recommend that you obtain vehicle insurance and/or if you obtain a different vehicle instead, then I recommend that you insure that vehicle. Good luck.

Q. Can I sue my brother, the estate executor, to sell our mother's house?

March 24, 2025

A: I recommend that you (and the siblings in agreement with you) consult with a probate attorney or 2 of your choice to discuss your concerns and desires as to this situation-----after said consult, y'all can then decide the best way to proceed----whether it is to have your brother pay your fair market value for your respsective interests in the house or if you should file something with the Court asking for a sale of the property. Or if there is a different option which is determined based on the information obtained/discussed in your meeting. Handling this without advice from an attorney is not a recommended way to proceed.
