Bossier City, LA asked in Estate Planning, Family Law and Probate for Louisiana

Q: What do you do if you lose the succession papers. I have an r.v. with no title and I'm trying to sell it.

I've already gotten a lawyer years ago and had the order of succession but lost the papers. I'm trying to get a title to be able to sell the rv.
