LSU Law - Assisting Homeowners
Affected by the Flooding in August
2016
Sherb Sentell III
Introduction
• A two-time Bronze Star Medal recipient, Sherb Sentell is
a Colonel in the US Army Reserve. He now serves as a
partner at Sentell Law Firm, LLC, in Minden, Louisiana,
and as the elected City Judge of Minden-Ward 1. Sherb
Sentell is an alumnus of Louisiana State University Law
Center, which is still assisting victims of 2016’s severe
flooding.
In December 2016, LSU Law announced plans to
establish a Successions/Title Clearing Clinic to assist
those affected by the flooding in August 2016. The school
formed the clinic in January of this year to provide legal
aid during the process of requesting federal recovery
funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
LSU Law
• One of the common obstacles to collecting recovery
money is a lack of a clear title to a home, which often
occurs when individuals inherit homes from
previous generations without ever going through an
official succession or probate proceeding. This was
precisely the case following the floods of 2016.
To help homeowners caught in this legal dilemma,
third-year law students at LSU Law’s clinic assist
homeowners while learning the process of carrying
out succession proceedings themselves.
