What happens when a will is not probated after 8 years and the named heir also dies without a will?

You should check with an attorney in your area. The issue of who would be entitled to the house would depend on Lousiana's law of intestacy, if the son did not have will. I hope this helps.

My comments are not intended to establish an attorney-client relationship, are not confidential, and are not intended to constitute legal advice. Proper legal advice can only be given by an attorney who agrees to represent you, who reviews the facts of your specific case, who does not have a conflict of interest preventing the representation, and who is licensed as an attorney in the state where the law applies.
