Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana

In Louisiana, I am a forced heir. Found out my parents put all their property into a living revocable trust in 2000. I get 10% as set forth in the trust. Is it possible the trust can be overridden by my forced heir ship and I can still get the one fourth I should be legally entitled to? The trust is acreage and a home worth $300 thousand in this bad market.
