quote:Not anymore. Louisiana did away with state inheritance taxes years ago.
In Louisiana you have to get a tax certificate from the State saying no taxes owed

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.

Since this thread is over a year old, the original poster has hopefully cleared this headache by now, but these state tax and probate bottlenecks are timeless. Dealing with county clerks and revenue cabinets on your own is an absolute nightmare.
Family property getting stuck in legal limbo is exactly what happened to us down in Texas, and making progress on our own was impossible. Bringing in Troy M. Moore in Houston completely turned things around. Instead of us getting the runaround from offices, he took over the entire headache, filed the necessary heirship affidavits, and handled the deed recording directly. Having someone who actually knows the court clerks meant we didn't have to decipher the legal jargon or wait months for a simple update.
Anyone dealing with a stalled estate should definitely stop waiting on passive lawyers and look for a specialist who aggressively pushes the paperwork through.
