Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana
My brother died intestate. Before he died he was issued a check by the SS Administration. There is no joint bank account. He left no heirs. How do we, his siblings, obtain the funds to pay for a portion of his burial?

You will need to open a simple succession and be placed in possession of the estate.
