Field Law
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
A Firm Focused on Louisiana Estate Law
Field Law helps people plan ahead, settle Louisiana estates, and resolve inheritance disputes.
Our work centers on Louisiana estate planning, successions, estate disputes, litigation, and related appeals.
We combine focused legal knowledge with clear explanations, practical strategy, and technology that keeps clients connected.
Louisiana does not use the same estate laws as every other state. Its civil-law system includes distinct rules for Wills, trusts, mandates, community property, forced heirship, usufructs, and successions.
Those differences shape how we approach every matter. We draft estate plans with the future succession in mind. When a death occurs, we look for the most efficient lawful route. When conflict develops, we match the response to the problem instead of creating unnecessary litigation.
Focused practice produces practical advice. We work in Louisiana estate law every day, from a family’s first planning meeting through succession court, contested hearings, and appeals.

Estate Planning Should Include Every Family Member
Wilhelmina, Winifred, and Worthington are part of daily life at Field Law. They also remind us why planning for an animal’s care matters.
A Louisiana estate plan can name a caregiver, set aside resources, provide enforceable instructions, and address care during incapacity. Learn more about Baton Rouge pet trusts and estate planning.
Helping Out-of-State Families With Louisiana Property
Many Field Law clients live outside Louisiana. A parent may have lived here, or the estate may include Louisiana land, a home, mineral rights, or inherited family property.
We regularly coordinate remote consultations, secure document exchange, electronic review, and remote notarization when legally appropriate. Most uncontested clients do not need to travel to Baton Rouge or appear in court.
Louisiana Successions From Anywhere
Our remote process keeps records, signatures, updates, and court filings organized.
Property Left by a Nonresident
An ancillary succession may be required when a person lived elsewhere but owned Louisiana property.
