Our Estate Planning & Trust Probate attorneys handle estate planning, marital property agreements, wills, lifetime trusts, the administration of decedents' estates (both domiciliary and ancillary), and the preparation of estate and gift tax returns. As part of the firm's representation of numerous Louisiana banks, we advise the trust departments of such banks and frequently represent non‑Louisiana banks and trustees administering private and employee‑benefit trusts that own property in Louisiana. Attorneys in the Estate Planning & Trust Probate group also represent clients before the Internal Revenue Service and the Louisiana Department of Revenue and Taxation in disputes involving estate and gift taxes and the income taxation of estates and trusts.
