What is the name of your state? Louisiana
My children want to have their land they inherited surveyed in order to build a house. My husband father died with out a will here in Louisiana. They did a succession on him giving his three children equal ownership in 20 acres of land. His mother is still alive and I thought Louisiana being a community property state that she would get one third and their 3 children would split up the remaining 2/3's. My hushband passed away not long ago and had no will also. My house is located on the 20 acre plot of land which has never been surveyed. My daughter wishes to build a house on her fathers part of the land. Is the succession legal or not. If not what should be done? We want the house to be located next to mine but seeing that we don't have a survey of it, what would be the best way to go with this situation?
