Our Areas of Practice: Hebert Holmes & Bertrand

Our Probate Services in Allen Parish

Losing a loved one is difficult, and attempting to administer the estate while you are grieving can make the process even more challenging. Succession, referred to as probate in other states, involves collecting and managing probate assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining property to heirs and beneficiaries. If you are currently serving as an executor or administrator, we can help.

Do you know what will happen to your property when you pass on? If you do not leave a valid will, your assets will be distributed according to intestate law in a way that you may not have wished. Hebert Holmes & Bertrand can draft wills and trusts to ensure that your assets are properly passed down, your loved ones are cared for, and your last wishes are honored. Louisiana has unique probate laws, including forced inheritance, that our Allen Parish wills & successions attorney can take into account when planning for your future.

Other Practice Areas

In addition to probate and estate planning, we handle a variety of other legal areas. Our attorneys have more than 100 years of combined experience and have worked in a variety of legal fields. We fight for our clients' rightful compensation in negligence cases, including personal injury, wrongful death and auto accidents. If you were injured at your workplace, we can help you obtain workers' compensation benefits to cover the cost of your medical bills and part of your lost wages.

A house is one of the most expensive purchases you may make during your lifetime. Whether you are buying or selling a house, it may be beneficial to have an attorney review your paperwork to make sure the transaction is legal and in your best interests.
