Writing a basic will is easy, and it's also easy to change or
revoke, so you won't be stuck with it later if you change your mind. So
if you need to write a will quickly when you're planning to travel, or
don't want to spend a lot of time planning your estate right now, this
is the form for you. Though you'll probably want to draft a more
extensive will in the long term, this will covers the essential steps
you need to take to protect your family and your property.
For adults in Louisiana over 18 years old with children, this basic will can be used to:
- leave your property to people (or organizations)
- name alternate beneficiaries to your property
- name an adult to look after your young children if you and the other parent are unable
- appoint an executor to be in charge of winding up your affairs
This will was designed for people who don't have children. If you
do not have children, use the form Basic Louisiana Will for Adult Without Children.
