Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana
succession
My mother died in Dec 2001. She was in her second marriage and had signed a pre-nup that what was hers was hers and his was his. She had no property or vehicle only personal property and CD for 63,000. There was a checking account with both his and her name on it. He would not pay for her funeral or medical bills. Is it a law that we have to file succession since she had no property of value?

Re: succession
Because of the CD it is possible that inheritance taxes will be due.
Consult an attorney.
