I am the executor of my husband’s will. I am having difficulty getting the land transferred into the legal heirs name. I need advice on how to get this resolved. I have talked to the Acadia Parish Tax Office to no avail.

If your husband had a will, it will need to be probated to have the land transferred. This can be done by way of a small succession affidavit, if his estate is valued at less than $125,000, or by filing a petition for probate with the court. An attorney experienced in successions law can give you... View More
I am almost 17. My mother and my father have joint custody but I was never able to see my dad, along with my sisters and stepmom because of my mom. My dad lives in missouri i live in louisiana. If my dad came and got me and took me in to live with him would I be forced to go back home?

You didn't say whether there's a judgment determining custody, but your statement that your parents have "joint custody" makes me assume that there is one. Your father would need to file a Rule to Modify Custody in the custody case asking the court to give him domiciliary... View More

I do not want to answer to them, and my attorney is not deposing them, and telling me to go to this deposition. It feels to me I'm bringing the bullets to the gun owner. .. It is a custody case with many twist .

If you were not subpoenaed to appear, then you cannot be punished for refusing to appear, assuming you are not a party to the lawsuit. You mention that your attorney is telling you to go, which makes me think you are a party, however. If that's the case and you fail to appear, then the... View More

Any credible evidence can be used to prove income. It's important, however, to make sure that the evidence you have is admissible under the Louisiana Rules of Evidence. You should consult with an attorney familiar with custody and child support cases to make sure you have what you need.

Her daughter has become addicted to drugs and is not caring for her. She did not inform him of the conservatorship when she did it. Now we have to make medical decisions and can not.

answered on Oct 20, 2022
In Louisiana, a conservatorship is called an interdiction. When an interdiction is granted, the court appoints a curator (or curatrix if female) and an undercurator. Usually, the undercurator would file something informing the court that the curator is no longer capable of serving; however, any... View More

A child that was surrendered for adoption still has the right to inherit from his/her parent in Louisiana, even though the parent's parental rights were terminated. I've never heard of a crematorium requiring that a child surrendered for adoption sign the paperwork, however.
He is now deceased. Can this be revoked since he is not the actual biological father?

It is possible to do. I have actually been successful in getting this one in a situation where the mother passed away.

Adult adoptions are usually inexpensive and can be done quickly. An attorney who handles adoptions can explain the process and cost.

Assuming your father did not have a will, his children would inherit 100% interest in his separate property.
Scam or worth hiring an attorney

answered on May 10, 2023
Save your money friend. It's likely a scam, especially if you were contacted via email. Ask yourself why a distant relative would leave so much money to someone he/she hasn't met, and how they managed to find your email address.
I sit by parking lot curb at local tractor supply, facing the highway, and many people tell me it's illegal but non can tell me the law about it.

Every town/city may have different laws regarding this. I would recommend contacting the local police to see if there are any licensing requirements or limitations you should know about.

It appears your accident happened in California, according to news reports I've found. If so, you would need to speak with an attorney licensed in California. This question board is for Louisiana.

Nursing home negligence falls within the Medical Malpractice Act in Louisiana. You should contact an attorney directly who handles medical malpractice matters. Good luck.
I had insurance on 2 of my vehicles, I’m not sure why the 3rd wasn’t on there. I was in the hospital having surgery and someone backed out of the parking space next to my car swiping the back corner, my taillight and scratched my bumper.

No, if your vehicle was legally parked at the time of the accident, Louisiana's “No Pay, No Play” law does not apply even though you were not carrying insurance.

You really need to speak with a Louisiana attorney who handles custody matters. There's a lot of additional information the lawyer would need to know to answer the question, such as where the child was born and when the petition was filed.

Either party can file to partition the community any time after a Petition for Divorce is filed. You will both remain co-owners of the community property until that time.
