LA HCR6

Directs the Louisiana State Law Institute to study intestate succession proceedings and mechanisms to disinherit successors without a will, with findings due to the Legislature by January 4, 2027

Current Louisiana law (Civil Code Article 1618) requires disinherison to be made through a formal testament, providing no method to disinherit children without executing a will

Addresses concern that estranged adult children can inherit from a deceased parent who dies without a will, potentially burdening surviving spouses who contributed to community property

Requires the Law Institute to submit printed and electronic copies of any report to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library
