RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 173 (HB 142) 2020 Regular Session Robby Carter
Existing law provides for the definition and administration of small successions without the
requirement of judicially opening the succession.
New law authorizes testate successions to be administered without judicial approval when
the person has died testate, leaving no immovable property, and probate of the testament of
the deceased would have the same effect as if the deceased had died intestate.
Effective Aug. 1, 2020.
(Amends C.C.P. Arts. 3421, 3431(A), and 3432.1(A)(8))
