Handling a Louisiana Succession When Surviving Wife is Bequeathed Usufruct

I was working with a family over the last few years. The surviving wife called me after he husband died about two years ago. She wanted to get his "estate settled." She said he had a Last Will and Testament leaving her everything. When she came in and showed me the Will, I realized that he had not left her "ownership" of everything, rather, he left her "usufruct", a form of ownership recognized only in . The husband left two daughters, and I told the surviving wife that we would have to get her two step-daughters involved in the Succession since they were the "naked owners" and needed to be part of the settling of her husband's estate. Well, two years later after the daughters and their husbands prolonged court proceedings because they demanded accountings of all of bank accounts, CDs, investment accounts, IRAs, annuities, and Savings Bonds, the relationships are now strained and the surviving wife is now saying, "How can I make sure that MY CHILDREN don't have to go through all of this when I die?" So, we're setting things up now so that when she dies, her children will immediately inherit from her, and her husband's children will immediately get what they are entitled to from their father's Succession. Certain things will be held in trust so there will be easy and immediate access to heirs when she dies, without having to go through the complexities, delays, and costs of probate.
