    In LA if a child dies before the parents does his wife inherit his portion of money
    My husband passed away. His mother and father passed away after he did. Now his sister will not give us a copy of the will and will not give me or my son any money. What is my rights as a spouse and what do I need to do to get my sons portion.

    Successions in Louisiana are considered either
    Testate or intestate. If the deceased had a will
    That was probated, then the succession is
    Considered testate. If the deceased did not have
    A will, then the succession is intestate. With a
    Testate succession, the provisions of a will
    Control most of the dispositions. In an intestate
    Succession, the statutes determine who inherits
    And in what proportions.

    You have to check whether he had a will or not.
    Go to his probate court and check it.
