In Louisiana, the average cost for preparing a will with an attorney ranges from $300 to $1,000, while the cost of setting up a trust typically falls between $1,000 and $3,000. Snug's online estate planning service provides a more affordable alternative for Louisiana residents.

A will does not need to be notarized in Louisiana. However, a self-proving affidavit can be included, which is signed by the testator and witnesses in the presence of a notary public. This affidavit attests to the will's validity, helping to streamline the probate process by eliminating the need for the court to contact the witnesses for verification.

Louisiana requires at least two witnesses who are at least 16 years old and of sound mind to sign a will. Witnesses should not be named as beneficiaries in the will. They must be present when the testator signs the will and must sign the will in the presence of the testator and each other.

Probate in Louisiana, known as "succession," can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the estate's complexity and any potential disputes. Snug's people-centered approach to estate planning in Louisiana helps residents create comprehensive plans that address their unique needs, ultimately expediting the succession process.
