Overview

From Your First Petition to Your Toughest Contest — Attend Both and Get 7.0 Live In-Person CLE Credits

A client calls. Her husband died last week, and she has no idea what happens next. Whether that's your first succession file or your fiftieth, Louisiana's approach to successions rewards attorneys who know the legal terrain cold. This two-part series takes you through the entire lifecycle of a Louisiana succession. Part one covers the basics: opening the file, the surviving spouse's usufruct, clearing title, and the tax filings nearly every estate triggers. Part two digs into what happens when things get messy: will contests, forced heirship fights, community property disputes, usufructs that stall a sale, and estates with creditors circling. Attend both sessions and you'll knock out 7.0 Live In-Person CLE credits in a single day, while walking away with a complete, ready-to-practice framework for handling Louisiana successions from the first phone call to the final judgment. Register for the series today. Both sessions take place in person at the Hilton New Orleans Airport on December 10, 2026.
