RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 198 (HB 121) 2017 Regular Session Gregory Miller
Existing law requires the independent administrator to file a verified inventory or sworn
descriptive list prior to closing a succession.
New law retains existing law and requires that the list be "detailed".
Prior law prohibited a successor from being placed in possession of property without this
filing.
New law deletes prior law and provides that the detailed descriptive list shall be sealed upon
request.
New law further provides that if the detailed descriptive list is sealed, a copy shall be
provided to universal successors and the surviving spouse, and a court may furnish relevant
information to any successor, spouse, or creditor of the estate.
Effective August 1, 2017.
(Amends C.C.P. Art. 3396.18)
