Our Estate Planning Services

Estate Planning

We collaborate with clients to establish plans that truly reflect their wishes and hold up under Louisiana's distinct legal framework, including the state's community property rules and forced heirship laws.

We can help you with:

Wills and testaments
Trusts and trust administration
Powers of attorney
Healthcare directives and living wills
Beneficiary designations
Planning for minor children or dependents with special needs
Succession planning

Estate Administration

Losing a loved one is hard enough. Navigating the legal process that follows shouldn't make it more difficult. That’s why we guide families through probate (referred to as “succession” here in Louisiana), working to settle estates properly and efficiently.

Our estate administration support includes:

Opening and managing succession proceedings
Identifying and inventorying estate assets
Addressing outstanding debts and obligations
Distributing assets to heirs and beneficiaries
Working with financial institutions, creditors, and courts on your behalf

You can focus on your family, while we handle each and every legal detail.

Estate Litigation

Even a meticulously drafted estate plan can become entangled in a dispute. When conflicts arise, whether over the validity of a will, the actions of a succession representative, or disagreements among heirs, we're ready to advocate for you.

We represent clients in matters involving will contests and challenges, claims of undue influence, disputes over succession representation, asset mismanagement, partition actions for inherited property, and more. No matter the situation, we’re driven to get the results our clients deserve.

"Easy to reach"
Great Communication and easy to reach. What's the point of a great lawyer if you can't even communicate with them? With René you get both!
My nephew was in jail in the middle of the night. I was stressed, worried, and scared. All the law offices that I had called were closed, and finally, one office answered. The Law Office of René Fabré. A lady answered and said she would leave the lawyer a message. I didn't think I'd get a call back. Then shortly after, I got a call.
René gave me great advice and a fair quote. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped ease all of my worries. I'm so glad those other guys I had called first were closed. Don't miss out on a great attorney, call René! He also has a nice office in downtown Nola, make an appt and stop by.
