• Financial Power of Attorney (Durable POA)
Use this together with Chapter 8 — Power of Attorney and Medical Decisions to better understand how to authorize someone to manage finances if you can’t.

• Healthcare Directive / Living Will (If you choose to include it)
Also referenced in Chapter 8, this explains medical decision-making and end-of-life care preferences.

These are educational templates — not legal advice — and may not be suitable for every situation. If your family situation is complex, please consult a Louisiana estate planning attorney.

Read These Chapters First

Louisiana law is unique — especially when it comes to forced heirship, usufruct, and community property. Before you finalize any document, make sure you understand how these rules may affect your plan:

  • Chapter 2 — Forced Heirship: What You Need to Know
    Important if you have children — especially if any child may qualify as a forced heir.

  • Chapter 3 — Usufruct Explained
    Common in blended families and when leaving assets to a spouse and children.

  • Chapter 4 — Community Property and Separate Property
    Critical for married couples — particularly if assets were acquired at different times.

  • Chapter 5 — Louisiana Successions (Probate)
    Helps you understand what happens after death — and how your plan impacts the process.

A little understanding here prevents a lot of confusion later.
