Translating a succession for heirs abroad
Heirs in France, Honduras, Vietnam or anywhere else will need the Louisiana death certificate and, very often, the judgment of possession that gives them their share. Louisiana's succession vocabulary comes from the civil-law tradition, so a French or Spanish translation can use true equivalents - succession, héritier, usufruit - rather than awkward approximations of common-law terms.
Both documents are apostilled by the Louisiana Secretary of State before they are translated.
