Wills, Trusts, Successions: What the New Federal Law Means for Your Plan

I'm Myrna Arroyo — I run Progeny Law Firm here in Baton Rouge. Most of what I do is help Louisiana families protect their homes, their savings, and the people they love from things they didn't see coming. Lawsuits. Nursing home costs. A messy succession. A blended-family situation that gets worse before it gets better. The wrong person inheriting at the wrong time.

In 90 minutes, we will walk you through:

• The difference between a will and a trust in Louisiana — and when each one actually makes sense (the answer isn't what most online guides say)
• How forced heirship and usufruct really work, and why “just adding my kids to the deed” usually backfires
• What the One Big Beautiful Bill Act changed about estate and gift taxes this year, and what to do about it
• How to plan for nursing home care without going broke — and what Medicaid does and doesn't pay for in Louisiana
• How to protect your children's inheritance from a future divorce, lawsuit, or bankruptcy

This is educational, not a sales pitch. You don't need to hire me, buy anything, or sign up for anything to attend. If you decide afterward that you want to sit down one-on-one, I'll waive my normal consultation fee for everyone who comes.

If you have a spouse, bring them. If you have a parent who's been putting this off, this is one of the easier ways to get them in front of the information without it feeling like a confrontation.
