Online Estate Planning in Louisiana is a Box of Chocolates
Estate planning online in Louisiana is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get, so you have to be careful!
It’s almost impossible to know whether it’s safe to obtain an estate planning form online. If there is a problem with the online estate planning form, it will not likely be discovered until it’s too late to fix it! This is the reason GeauxPlans was created – to be a trusted source for online estate planning in Louisiana.
What Not to Do When Estate Planning Online in Louisiana
Here is the law stuff, so skip this section if you aren’t interested in hearing about a real case.
The number one source of estate planning litigation is thinking you are “all set,” when you really are not (meaning you have defective documents and you just don’t know it yet).
Louisiana case law is riddled with “bad will” cases. A good example is In Re the Succession of John Robert Biscamp, 16-673 (La. App. 3 Cir. 02/01/17). In this case, a Louisiana Court issued a dire warning about the use of online estate planning forms in Louisiana.
The facts of the Biscamp case involved Mr. John Robert Biscamp who downloaded an online estate planning form and used it to disinherit his children. After Mr. Biscamp died, his children had nothing to lose, so they challenged the will. The will was struck down because it was invalid under Louisiana law.
Every state has different form requirements for Wills. Like most things in Louisiana, we are “different” and it’s harder to meet the requirements of Louisiana law.
Fast forward, and the estate planning attorney who litigated the case on behalf of the children of Mr. Biscamp later founded GeauxPlans. That’s us.
You have to be careful across the board. Even a form from a reputable source can be rendered invalid if not signed properly. The testament below is from willing.com and was executed improperly without a full signature on the bottom of each separate page – not just at the end. The missing signature renders this online estate planning form legally invalid in Louisiana.
Let’s face it. Online estate planning forms are widespread, readily available, and sometimes free! The temptation to use online estate planning forms is too great to be ignored. Here lies the problem. GeauxPlans is the solution for Louisiana.
