Depending on the balance.. you may can have a small estates affidavit signed to bypass estate. Louisiana estate is kinda weird but if they won’t accept that then you’ll have to proceed with probate.

To be fair, in my experience many attorneys are plain lazy/dumb with respect to financial institution rules regarding estate processing.

I’ve seen many, many attorneys try to tell clients they don’t need to open a succession to access jointly owned accounts in Louisiana, which is patently false. The last estate document I received was from an attorney who tried to use a small estate affidavit for accounts listed over $200k in LA, which is well above the limit on those. That’s simply negligent.
