Succession Litigation and Appeals

An Estate Plan Designed to Work in Real Life

Morgan Field helps individuals and families create Louisiana estate plans based on their property, family relationships and practical goals. Depending on the circumstances, a plan may include a will, trust, power of attorney, advance directive, beneficiary designation or other transfer document.

Estate planning is also incapacity planning. Powers of attorney, healthcare documents and properly structured trusts can identify who may act, define the authority that person will have and provide instructions for managing property if illness or incapacity prevents the client from acting personally.

For clients seeking to reduce or avoid a Louisiana succession, creating a trust is only one part of the process. Ownership, trust funding, beneficiary designations and other nonprobate transfers must work together. Field Law coordinates these parts so the plan functions as intended while preserving appropriate flexibility and safeguards.
