Frequently Asked Questions — Calcasieu Parish
Where is the Calcasieu succession court?
14th Judicial District Court, 1000 Ryan Street, Lake Charles, LA 70601.
The decedent had insurance settlements pending from Hurricane Laura. Does that affect the succession?
Yes — if the settlements are payable to the estate, they pass through succession. We coordinate with insurance carriers to ensure the Judgment of Possession allows the heirs to receive the proceeds.
The deceased worked at a Lake Charles LNG facility. Are there industry-specific issues?
Sometimes. Petrochemical-industry employees often have pensions, deferred compensation, and retirement accounts that pass by beneficiary designation rather than through succession. We sort out which assets actually go through the succession during intake.
