Powers of Attorney in New Orleans
The documents that let someone you trust manage your finances and decisions if you cannot — the piece most people forget.
Estate planning is not only about what happens when you die — it is also about who steps in if you are alive but unable to manage your own affairs. A financial power of attorney lets someone you trust handle money, property, and legal matters on your behalf, avoiding a court-appointed guardianship. It is the piece people most often overlook, and its absence causes the most avoidable hardship.
Powers of attorney we prepare
- Durable financial power of attorney
- Choosing and naming an agent you trust, with backups
- Defining the scope of authority you grant
- Coordinating it with the rest of your plan
Having this in place before it is needed spares your family a slow, expensive court process at a stressful moment. New Orleans, LA clients often add these to a will as one straightforward package.

Powers of Attorney — Common Questions
Do you help families in Metairie and across Jefferson Parish?
Yes. We work with families throughout the greater New Orleans area, including Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, Chalmette, and Slidell, across both Orleans and Jefferson Parishes. Estate planning is done based on where you live, and we will make sure your documents are valid where you are.
We own property that has been in the family a long time — does that complicate a plan?
It can, and it is exactly why planning ahead matters here. Property that has passed down informally over generations can create tangled ownership if it is not addressed, and a clear plan now spares your heirs a difficult process later. We will walk you through how to handle it in plain terms.
How much does an estate plan cost, and how does billing work?
For most estate-planning packages we charge a flat, explained fee rather than an open-ended hourly bill, and the initial consultation is free. What you pay depends on which documents your situation actually calls for — we will tell you what you need rather than selling you more than that.
