Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana

Louisiana Death In Family
I recently had an uncle pass away in Louisiana. He was the last know relative on my dad's side of the family. I just found out that a cousin whom I have never met was handling everything. This cousin will not acknowledge us and did so by leaving us out of even the obituary notice. How do I know that if there is a will, and I am assuming that there is, I will receive anything that was left to me. I do not know, but if this cousin is an executer of the will, does this mean she can do whatever she see's fit? I feel as if she may be trying to take everything. What should I do? Do I need to hire an attorney? I have always heard that Louisiana law was completly different than anywhere else in the country. Any suggestions would be of big help. Thanks.

Re: Louisiana Death In Family

You need to get the services of an attorney in Louisiana, who practices in or near the parish where your uncle resided.
