Living Trust

Do any of you live in another state but hold land in Louisiana? If so, do you have the land as part of a trust and if that is the case, did you have a lawyer in your state of residence prepare the trust or did you have a Louisiana Lawyer prepare the trust. I have been lead to believe that if you develop a trust in another state that includes land in Louisiana that the trust will not be recognized in Louisiana. Any experience with that topic?

I live in Texas...I have a trust prepared by a Louisiana attorney. Louisiana is governed under the French Code..totally different than anyother state. It would behoove ya to have an attorney that knows about the LA..French code law.

Although my trust was prepared by a Texas attorney, it was reviewed by a Louisiana attorney to insure that it conforms to Louisiana law, and the document conveying the Louisiana property into the trust was drafted and filed by the Louisiana attorney. I hope this information is helpful.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
