Supreme Court of Louisiana
Bruce A. O'krepki, Independent of the Succession of Richard E. O'Krepki v. Penelope Brodtmann O'Krepki C/W…
May 1, 2026
Summary
The court held that the succession could seek reimbursement for Richard’s separate-fund contribution to the jointly titled DeLimon property, the one-million-dollar check, and the tax overpayment Penny used for her separate tax liabilities. It affirmed the denial of reimbursement for alleged property improvements because the succession failed to prove their actual nature, cost, or value. The court remanded for further proceedings consistent with those rulings.
