Don’t Let the State Decide

A Heartfelt Guide to Wills, Trusts, and Estate Planning in Louisiana

Protect what matters most.
Plan with purpose.
Leave a legacy of peace.

If you don’t create a plan for your family, the State of Louisiana already has one for you—and it may not reflect your wishes, your faith, or your love.

In this compassionate and practical guide, Louisiana estate planning attorney Andrew Mims offers clear, real-world advice for taking control of your legacy and your family’s future after you are gone.

Don’t Let the State Decide walks readers step-by-step through wills, trusts, probate, long-term care, and guardianship—explaining how to protect your assets, avoid costly mistakes, and bring peace of mind to the people you love most.

Blending storytelling with decades of experience, Mims makes complicated legal concepts simple and relatable. You’ll discover how planning ahead can preserve family harmony, protect children and spouses, and keep decisions in your hands—not the government’s.

Whether you’re a young family just starting out or nearing retirement, this book will give you the clarity, confidence, and motivation to act before the state decides for you.
