Re: will and probate

Dear Friend,

Since you are talking about "moving" property, I assume you are talking about what we in Louisiana call "movable" property, as opposed to "immovable property", which consists primarily of houses and lands, and buildings and such upon lands. And, yes, an administrator (succession representtative) of an estate (succession) can legally take steps to move items belonging to the estate from one place to another, even though those items may have been bequeathed (left, donated) by last will and testament to some third party. Your question does not give much information about what the complete situation is and the present state it is in, so there is a lot more to it all than this answer; but this is at least something to think about.

Secondly, there is qood possibility that the state bar associations of Louisiana and Oregon can tell you the name or names and address or addresses of any attorney or attorneys who may be licensed to practice law in the state courts of both of those states. Also, an attorney licensed in only one of the two states you mentioned can obtain persission to practice on a PRO HAC VICE (for this case only) basis in either of the two states you mention, even though he may not be licensed to practice law in that statte. Again, there is more to it all than this, but this something to think about.

This is not a solicitation of business, but feel free to call me to discuss this matter further. No charge for just talking. Good luck!

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, Atty.
