Summary

The bill amends Louisiana’s civil procedure code to define a small succession as any estate with a gross value of $125,200 or less. It applies to people who died domiciled in Louisiana and simplifies probate for estates under this new threshold. The change aims to broaden the range of estates that can use streamlined small‑succession procedures.
