Financial, business, and health matters span all stages of life. Our professionals’ experience in business and financial matters aids our clients in estate planning. Proper estate planning usually includes the preparation of a Last Will and Testament, power of attorney (called a “mandate” in Louisiana), or trust (whether inter vivos or testamentary).  Sometimes difficult situations require the interdiction of a loved one, or the creation of a special needs trust for a disabled family member. The Derbes Law Firm’s estate planning team can properly advise you on the necessary contents of your estate planning documents to accomplish your goals.

Our team is led by Beau Sagona, a Louisiana board-certified Estate Planning and Administration Specialist. We understand that every family situation is unique. The team draws upon its knowledge and experience from other practice areas to advise clients how to best plan for death, disability, and diminished capacity. For example, the Derbes Law Firm is able to draft a limited liability company’s operating agreement to comport with the Last Will and Testament of the company’s founder. Our litigation experience allows our team to capably handle interdiction proceedings. Our team can create effective trust document with its combined knowledge of contracts and estate planning.
