Not all assets of the decedent are required to go through the probate process. Typically, life insurance policies and retirement plans will avoid probate if a proper beneficiary designation has been made by the decedent. However, if no beneficiaries are listed, or the named beneficiaries are deceased, most custodians will pay the proceeds to the decedent’s estate, thus requiring its inclusion in the probate process.

If your loved one died without a valid will, Louisiana law dictates who will inherit their assets. In Louisiana, there are only two types of valid wills: a handwritten will and a notarial will. However, don’t be fooled by the names. There are specific formalities for both types that must be followed to be valid. If a will is invalid, then Louisiana’s rules will apply and not the wishes of the decedent.
