An affidavit of heirship in Louisiana serves as a vital legal document. It identifies the rightful heirs of a deceased person who died without a will. This affidavit provides essential information about the deceaseds family relationships, thereby simplifying the transfer of assets.
In Louisiana, inheritance rules are clear. First, children get everything if there is no will. Then, it goes to a spouse or other close relatives. Parents and siblings share it if there are no children or spouses.
Heirs inherit their part of the property based on the degree of the relationship to the decedent. Simply put, those more closely related, like your children, will outrank those more remotely related, like your parents and siblings. Louisiana law also determines how assets get distributed to the surviving spouse.
There is a specific order that the decedents family will inherit. The family members inherit starting with brothers and sisters, then parents, then aunts and uncles, and then cousins. The first group of people that are present inherits all of the decedents property.
The heir legally owns the property. But, the propertys title does not automatically pass to the heir. Without legal paperwork, the title is unclear and unmarketable. Even if the property owner had a valid will, the heir still must take the original will to court in order to get clear title.
