    Forced Inheritance in Louisiana
    When my father died he left everything to my mother. If she excludes me from her will do I have any recourse considering Louisiana's Forced Inheretence Law?

    The State of Louisiana is unique in that its laws provide for forced heirship.
    As of 1996, the rules of forced heirship are as follows:

    1.All children who have not attained the age of 24 are forced heirs.
    2.All children (of any age) who, at the time of the death of their parent, are permanently incapable of taking care of their person or administering their estate, due or mental or physical incapacity, are forced heirs.

    Generally the forced portion is 25% of the legitime if there is one forced heir. If there is more than one forced heir, the forced portion is 50% of the legitime.

    At the time of the parent’s death, children under the age of 24, incapacitated children, and grandchildren in certain situations are forced heirs and have a claim against the forced portion of the estate.
