HB 1031 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

SUCCESSIONS: Provides relative to succession proceedings

This bill updates the effective date rules for a 2025 Louisiana law concerning succession proceedings. It allows the new provisions to apply both to cases already in progress and to future claims, while protecting claims that were already finalized before the law takes effect. The legislation does not restart old cases that were already ruled on, ensuring only active and new matters are affected by the updated rules.
