Complete·5/18/26

Louisiana HCR6 directs the Louisiana State Law Institute to study intestate succession and disinheritance without a will.

Louisiana HCR6 authorizes the Louisiana State Law Institute to study intestate succession proceedings and mechanisms to disinherit successors without a will. The study aims to address the current law's lack of authority to disinherit a child without a will, particularly when the deceased dies intestate. The Institute must report its findings to the Louisiana Legislature by January 4, 2027. The resolution highlights the burden on surviving spouses when estranged children inherit property.
