Estate Planning & Successions

Our estate planning and successions practice is dedicated to providing clear, thoughtful guidance tailored to each client’s unique circumstances, goals, and family dynamics.

We assist clients with wills, trusts, powers of attorney (healthcare, general and special), declarations and other planning tools designed to bring clarity and peace of mind for the future. Our approach includes working closely with clients to understand their priorities, explaining all options, and crafting a plan that reflects both our client’s intentions and Louisiana’s distinct legal framework.

Interdiction & Tutorships

When an individual—whether an adult or a minor—cannot make sound decisions regarding their personal or financial affairs, Louisiana law provides protective legal structures to safeguard their well-being. At Capitelli Law Firm, we assist families in navigating both interdictions and tutorships, offering guidance from the initial evaluation of what type of protection is appropriate through the preparation of filings and representation in court.

Our role includes helping families understand the distinctions between full and limited interdictions, the various forms of tutorship available in Louisiana, the rights of the person in need of protection, and the responsibilities of the curator or tutor once appointed.

Successions

When a loved one passes, navigating the succession process can feel overwhelming. We are here to guide families through each step—no matter how simple or complex—helping to ensure that assets are properly identified, debts are addressed, and rights are protected.

Whether you are planning ahead or managing the responsibilities that follow a loss, we offer trusted counsel and practical solutions for you and your family.
