Louisiana Divorce Estate Planning Lawyers

At Oak Grove Estate Planning, we understand that estate planning after a divorce isn’t just about changing a few names on a will. It’s about building a strong foundation for the next chapter of your life. Many law firms in Louisiana offer estate planning as one of many services, but that’s not how we operate. Oak Grove Estate Planning is the only firm in the state focusing solely on estate planning. That’s not a small detail – it’s the entire reason families trust us.

Securing Your Assets After Divorce

Divorce shifts the financial landscape in ways people often don’t expect. While dividing property during the divorce process is one thing, making sure assets remain protected long after the divorce is finalized is another. If you don’t update your estate plan, your ex-spouse could still be listed as a beneficiary on accounts, inheritances could go to the wrong people, and your children’s future may not be as secure as you intended.

At Oak Grove Estate Planning, we’ll review your entire estate plan, including wills, trusts, life insurance policies, and retirement accounts. We ensure your documents reflect your new circumstances and protect your assets from unintended claims. We help you look beyond the immediate and think about what’s best for your children, your financial future, and the legacy you want to leave behind.

Ensuring Your Children’s Future

Your children remain your priority, no matter what changes happen in your personal life. That’s why updating guardianship designations and trusts after a divorce is one of the most important steps you can take. Many people assume that if they pass away, their children will automatically go to the other parent. That’s not always the case, especially if there are concerns about your ex-spouse’s ability to provide a stable home.

A clear, updated estate plan ensures that your wishes for your children’s care will be honored. If you want to establish a trust to manage assets for your children, you’ll want to be sure that the right person oversees it. We guide you through these choices, ensuring your children’s financial well-being is protected and that the people you trust most make key decisions.

Updating Your Power of Attorney and Healthcare Directives

Divorce means reassessing who controls major decisions if something happens to you. If your ex-spouse is still named as your power of attorney or healthcare proxy, they could make financial or medical decisions on your behalf. For many people, that’s not an option. Revising these documents is an essential step after a divorce.

We help you designate new individuals to make financial and medical decisions if you can’t do so yourself. Whether you want a trusted family member, a close friend, or an adult child to take on this role, we ensure your wishes are legally binding. Your peace of mind matters, and having these documents in place guarantees that the right people will make the right decisions.
