More details to this question:
Both of my parents have passed on. My sister is not aware of the will or crypt. She legally changed her "full name" after will was made. She has not married, she legally changed her first name, middle name and last name. Not sure if she is aware of the most recent death. It is time to distribute her portion of monetary inheritance. Need Louisiana Law... how to entitle payment to her and how long to hold funds for payment.

A change of name is not death. She still inherits. If you do not know where she is, hire a PI. You do not get to hold onto the funds if you cannot find her. You must pay them into the court registry so that she can, eventually, claim them.
