Frequently asked questions
What is a power of attorney in Louisiana?
Louisiana law calls it a mandate or procuration: a document that authorizes someone you choose to act for you (La. Civ. Code art. 2989 and following). It can cover finances, property, or healthcare decisions, broadly or for one specific purpose.
When should I get a power of attorney?
Before you need one. If an illness or injury leaves you unable to act, a family member may otherwise need a court proceeding to manage your affairs.
Can you help me form an LLC?
Yes. Formation, operating agreement, and the initial contracts a new business needs.
Do you handle successions or wills?
No. The firm does not handle successions or wills. The Louisiana State Bar Association's Find Legal Help page can point you to an attorney who does.
