Louisiana family’s bid to overturn 30-year-old inheritance ruling fails

 A Louisiana man died without a will in 1956, and a court recognised his daughter as the heir to his estate in 1996. Nearly 30 years later, another family challenged her right to inherit a 50% share of a property. On October 30, the Louisiana Supreme Court rejected the challenge as legally time-barred, upholding the earlier inheritance ruling. A Louisiana man died without a will in 1956, and a court recognised his daughter as the heir to his estate in 1996.
