Q: Ok so my husbands dad whom we lived with and took care of until day he died had a hand written will it was not signed or
Or dated or noterized but however he did leave my husband the land and many knew about it. How would we go about changing land over to my husband
A: Unfortunately, the handwritten will not be accepted by a court. A handwritten will must be dated and signed by the person making the will. However, if your husband has siblings or his dad's spouse is still alive, they may be willing to donate their interest to him. In addition, Louisiana does not usually recognize a claim by a child for taking care of a parent. Such action is considered one of the obligations children owe to their parents and parents owe to their children.
