HB 1105 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

CIVIL/INTERDICTION: Provides with respect to interdicted persons

This bill amends Louisiana's Civil Code to clarify that a court must grant explicit permission before a legal guardian can restrict communication, visitation, or interaction between an interdicted person and their close relatives or individuals with strong emotional bonds. The law directly affects guardians, underguardians, and legal representatives who manage the affairs of adults declared legally incapacitated. By requiring express authority for such restrictions, the bill aims to ensure that limiting contact with family members or loved ones is not assumed but specifically authorized by the court. This change applies to all cases involving interdicted persons and their appointed curators under Louisiana law.
