Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana

My husband and I have an annuity. Since his passing in 07, I tried to get the money. It was put in the estate name. He left a will leaving me access to everything. He has a son from his first marriage that is in his 50's. I do not wish to open succession. I was told by the company since it is under $50,000 I would need a summary of administration. What is this, what info do I need, do I need an attorney and about how much does it cost. Any help would be helpful as I am on a fixed income. Thank you.

I would need further information about the annuity to answer your question, specifically, whether there was a beneficiary named in the annuity.
