Your phone holds more than pictures. It holds memories of family, special moments, and everyday life that you never want to forget.

But have you thought about what happens to those memories when you're no longer here?

Taking a few minutes to plan for access to your digital memories can make a lasting difference for the people you love.

It's not morbid. It's your memories, and they're worth preserving.

Two years of Rachel! That’s definitely worth celebrating!

Today we’re celebrating Rachel’s 2-year workiversary at Scott Law Group!

Rachel is one of those people who doesn’t need to be the loudest person in the room to make an impression. She’s calm, thoughtful, quietly determined, and when she sets her mind to something, she doesn’t give up easily.

We’re lucky to have Rachel on our team and grateful for the person she is, not just the attorney she is.

Happy 2 years, Rachel! We’re so glad you’re part of the SLG family!

"But Mom had a will. Why do we still need a succession?"

Because having a will doesn't automatically transfer ownership of everything someone owned.

In Louisiana, the will generally needs to be formally recognized through the succession process before its provisions can be carried out.

A will is an important part of the process — but it doesn't necessarily eliminate the process.

Louisiana estate law is full of assumptions.

People often assume their will controls everything, their spouse will automatically inherit everything, or that an out-of-state will will work the same way here.

But Louisiana has its own rules for wills, community property, forced heirship, and successions. What you expect to happen may not always be what Louisiana law provides.

Understanding those rules now can help prevent difficult surprises for your family later.

Welcome, Fall!

Every season brings change. Every life does, too. A thoughtful estate plan helps prepare for the changes ahead and protect the legacy you leave behind.

As the seasons change, it’s a good time to take a fresh look at your will and make sure it still reflects your life, your family, and your wishes.

Is your will ready for the season ahead?

Someone dies. What do you actually need to do first?

Before a Louisiana succession can move forward, the family will generally need information such as:

• The death certificate
• The will, if there is one
• Information about the deceased person's assets
• Information about the heirs
• Property and account information

Getting the right documents together at the beginning can make the process much easier.
