Not anymore. Louisiana did away with state inheritance taxes years ago.

Was there a will ?

That's the big question.

If it was last November it may be time to hire an attorney, we did one in Louisiana a few years ago and it took 2-3 months to complete.

I think we paid $1,700.00 attorney fees

Louisiana is arse-backwards in many things - but its succession (probate) procedures are pretty streamlined - particularly if there is a will and independent administrator appointed.

My aunt was executor, she hired an attorney and the probate was ended sometime last year, September, I think. My brother and I received a letter from the attorney going through all the particulars. Was sent off to KY Revenue Cabinet for finalization and now it's being audited.
