Baton Rouge Estate Attorney Needed
Posted on 1/21/26 at 11:45 am
Posted on 1/21/26 at 11:45 am
Does anyone have any recommendations for a Baton Rouge Estate Attorney to help setup a trust for my mom and her 3 kids? I’ve had a few friends who have gone through a nightmare lately with their siblings fighting over their parents wishes and assists. I want to make sure we have everything documented and planned out so when the time comes there are no questions on my mom’s wishes. My mom is feeling overwhelmed and doesn’t know where to start. Thanks in advance.
I’m assuming I should expect to pay at least $350 for these services.

How big of an estate are we talking about and does she want specific stipulations for some of the kids to receive assets?
A detailed will may be all she needs.

I’m not sure about all the assists, but it is a little complicated because she wants my two brothers to live in the house as long as they can take care of it. She wants me to have power of attorney and oversee that they are keeping up the house. There are a few medical issues and alcohol addiction that come into play with one of my brothers. She wants me to oversee the money and distribution for them which seems like it will lead to disagreements.

10-4. Sounds like you might have a mess on your hands.

I think you’d be named an executor of the estate and it just needs to be in writing especially if she has specific wishes upon her her death lime occupancy of her property etc
An estate attorney would help set this up.
Trust me everything needs to be documented and in writing
In my opinion everything needs to be discussed with all parties prior to the passing of said person. It cuts down on surprises. They might still be pissed off but I think it’s better to discuss everything openly

You can add $3,000 to that fee expectation, minimum . . .

It will be a difficult undertaking and a fools errand to try to devise a will that allows/requires someone to continue parenting your siblings.
Also, powers of attorney terminate at the death of the person granting the power. when mom dies, her poa will cease to be effective.

Call SFP. Will probably take years due to him constantly posting and being wrong about everything tho

a will, with an executor/trix outside of the family seems like a better way to go
