Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana
Payment of Succession Cost
My mother died in Dec 2001 and we are in the process of succession. There are 5 children. So far only 3 has paid on succession. Can the other 2 be legally made to pay their part since they will be receiving their part of the inheritance?

Re: Payment of Succession Cost
Costs of the proceeding are actually the debt of the estate. The estate can reimburse those who have paid as a debt before distribution of the remaining assets
