At Gusman Law Firm, A Professional Law Corporation, we understand that estate planning is an important step in protecting your loved ones and ensuring your wishes are carried out. Our attorneys provide guidance in preparing the legal documents and plans necessary to manage and transfer assets, address future health care decisions, and reduce the risk of uncertainty for family members. We assist clients in New Orleans and throughout Southeast Louisiana with a wide range of estate planning services tailored to individual needs.
Estate Planning Documents and Services
We help clients prepare essential estate planning tools, including:
- Last Wills and Testaments
- Living Wills
- Trusts (including Living Trusts and Testamentary Trusts)
- Powers of Attorney
- Successions and Probate (both simple and under administration)
These documents provide structure and direction for managing assets and decision-making, helping to minimize potential disputes and delays for surviving family members.
Wills and Trusts
Drafting a will or establishing a trust allows clients to make clear decisions about how their property will be handled. A will outlines instructions for distributing assets, while trusts may offer additional flexibility and structure for long-term planning. Our attorneys assist clients in choosing the tools best suited to their circumstances and goals.
Powers of Attorney and Living Wills
Planning for the possibility of incapacity is an important part of estate planning. We assist with the preparation of Powers of Attorney for financial or medical decisions and Living Wills to communicate health care preferences. These documents help ensure that your wishes are respected and that trusted individuals can act on your behalf if needed.
Successions and Probate
When a loved one passes away, the estate must often go through probate, known in Louisiana as succession. Gusman Law Firm assists clients with both simple successions and successions requiring administration. We guide families through the process, helping to ensure that assets are distributed according to Louisiana law and the decedent’s wishes.
Estate planning can feel overwhelming, but with professional guidance, it becomes a structured process that provides clarity and reassurance. If you are considering creating or updating an estate plan, we invite you to contact Gusman Law Firm to discuss how our services may assist you.
