Estate planning involves determining how a person's assets will be preserved, managed, and distributed when they pass away. It also takes into account the management of an individual's properties and financial obligations in the event they are unable to do so. A good estate plan has five key elements:

Will

Trusts

Power of Attorney

Healthcare or Medical Directive

Beneficiary Designation

If you don't have these things in place, we can help you and walk you through the process.

We have experience in 1031 Exchanges, also known as a "like kind exchange." These tax-free exchanges, under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, allow a property owner to transition from one real estate investment to another real estate investment of equal or greater value and to defer income taxes if certain requirements are met. We have represented individuals, partnerships and corporations in Section 1031 exchanges in both real property, as well as inherently permanent structures.

We are a commissioned Louisiana Notary Public, allowing us to draft, prepare, and execute affidavits, acknowledgements and authentic acts.
