For his situation, he should execute a Louisiana last will and testament (LA Civ Code Art. 1577). This will allow him to designate who will inherit the property upon his death.

Hello. My father was instructed to have a motorized letter drawn up to state his wishes of designation of his portion of land upon his death. What eForm should I use? The land is in Louisiana and he lives in Florida.

I understand the importance of ensuring your father’s wishes are properly documented. Have you already consulted with an estate lawyer regarding this matter?
Not yet.
Lexi, Chatbot
Are you looking to create a motorized letter specifically for the designation of his portion of land in Louisiana, or are there other assets involved as well?
The only other asset he has is the home he resides in in Florida. He still has a mortgage that he is paying on, so we are not sure what will happen to his house when he passes. He is in hospice care now.

Is there anything else the Estate Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with estate planning.
No, that is all.

Does he have a Last Will and Testament?
Not yet.

For his situation, he should execute a Louisiana last will and testament (LA Civ Code Art. 1577). This will allow him to designate who will inherit the property upon his death.
Oh ok. And will that also work for the property he is still paying the mortgage on in Florida?
Jessica B
That is correct.
Ok, thank you so much. Have a wonderful day!
Jessica B
I hope I was able to help resolve your issue! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
Ok, will do. Thank you.
Hello again. One more question. For the signing of the Last Will and Testament… It requires two non-family witnesses along with the Notary. Can the witnesses be in-laws?
Jessica B
It should not be in-laws.
Ok, thank you.
Jessica B
No problem.
