Hammond, LA asked in Estate Planning for Louisiana

Q: I want to leave my property to my daughter. Can I get it notarized by a lawyer ?

I have it almost paid for. But I want this done, just incase of my untimely death. It's in a lease purchase agreement under my name.

A: This is what I tell people----when you pass, you want to make sure that your wishes and desires for your assets go to where you want them to go and the best way to make sure this happens is through a will prepared after consultation with a will/succession lawyer----as such, I recommend that you contact a few will/succession lawyers in your area---consult with them and the proceed accordingly. The money charged for this estate planning is well worth preventing the headaches your daughter (and/or other heirs) may have if you do not do this correctly. Good luck.
