A common question: Can a Louisiana Will simply be torn up or crossed out to revoke it? Not necessarily — Louisiana law requires specific methods to properly revoke a will, and an informal attempt can leave its validity in question or create confusion among your heirs. Revoking a will the right way is just as important as drafting one correctly in the first place. C.J. Jenkins Law Firm can help make sure any changes are legally sound: https://www.cjjenkinslaw.com/wills/

Did you know Louisiana is one of the only states with forced heirship laws, which can require a portion of your estate to go to certain children regardless of what your will says? This civil law concept, rooted in Louisiana's unique legal history, catches many people off guard when they assume they have complete freedom to distribute their estate as they wish. Understanding how forced heirship may apply to your family is essential before finalizing any plan. C.J. Jenkins Law Firm can walk you through it: https://www.cjjenkinslaw.com/estate-planning/

Waiting too long to pursue an interdiction for a declining loved one can leave a family without any legal authority to make urgent medical or financial decisions when it matters most. Without interdiction, even close family members may find themselves locked out of hospitals, bank accounts, or care decisions. Acting early, before a crisis hits, gives your family options instead of scrambling for them. C.J. Jenkins Law Firm can help you understand the right timing: https://www.cjjenkinslaw.com/interdiction/

This Finalization Friday, we would like to congratulate Ms. Sarah on the recent finalization of her intrafamily adoption

Every adoption story is unique and requires an intentional approach to get to the finish line. Ms. Sarah was thoughtful and patient as we worked through all of the logistics and even a few complications to get her finalized. We are honored to have been part of this journey and so happy for her to start the next chapter of her family's story.

Back-to-school season is one of the most common times for custody disputes to flare up, as schedules shift and parents disagree over school choice, pickup and drop-off logistics, or holiday planning. A well-drafted custody order should address these details clearly, but when it doesn't, conflicts can escalate quickly. If your custody agreement isn't holding up to the school-year routine, it may be time to revisit it: https://www.cjjenkinslaw.com/child-custody/

Did you know Louisiana adoptions can be structured as either open or closed, depending on what level of ongoing contact, if any, the adoptive family and birth family agree to? There's no single right answer — the best structure depends on the specific relationships and comfort levels involved. Understanding your options early helps set healthy expectations for everyone involved. C.J. Jenkins Law Firm can help you think through what fits your family: https://www.cjjenkinslaw.com/adoption/

As kids head back to school, drivers share the road with more school buses, crossing guards, and pedestrians — and property and vehicle owners can be held liable when negligence around school zones or bus stops leads to an injury. Knowing your rights matters whether you're a parent, a driver, or a pedestrian navigating these busier routes. If an accident has happened near a school zone, it's worth understanding your options: https://www.cjjenkinslaw.com/personal-injury/

After an accident, it's easy to assume the insurance company is working in your best interest, but their goal is typically to resolve claims for as little as possible. Statements made early on, or a quick settlement offer, can sometimes limit your ability to recover the full compensation you're entitled to. Having an attorney review your case before you sign anything protects your interests. C.J. Jenkins Law Firm can help you understand what your claim may be worth: https://www.cjjenkinslaw.com/personal-injury/

One of the most common questions after an accident is how long you have to file a claim. Louisiana law generally imposes a one-year prescriptive period for personal injury claims, meaning the window to act can close faster than people expect. Missing that deadline can mean losing the right to pursue compensation altogether. If you've been injured, it's worth understanding your timeline as soon as possible. C.J. Jenkins Law Firm can help you evaluate your case: https://www.cjjenkinslaw.com/personal-injury/
