Successions in Assumption Parish
Assumption Parish runs along Bayou Lafourche in south Louisiana sugarcane country, with Napoleonville as the parish seat. Probate and successions are filed in the 23rd Judicial District Court, which serves Assumption, Ascension, and St. James Parishes; Assumption matters are heard at the Assumption Parish Courthouse, 4809 Highway 1, Napoleonville.
Assumption successions reflect a deeply rural, agricultural parish: sugarcane farmland (the parish has long led the state in sugar yield), oil-and-gas interests producing since the 1940s, and fishing and camp property around Lake Verret and Pierre Part. Many estates involve multi-generational family land and heirs who left the bayou for work elsewhere.
Common Assumption Parish Succession Scenarios
- Inherited sugarcane farmland along Bayou Lafourche that heirs need to sell, lease, or partition.
- Oil-and-gas mineral interests beneath Assumption Parish land requiring a Judgment of Possession before royalties are released.
- Family fishing camps and homes around Lake Verret and Pierre Part inherited by adult children.
- Sale of inherited homes in Napoleonville, Labadieville, or Paincourtville where no succession was filed.
- Out-of-state heirs of Assumption residents who relocated for work.

Frequently Asked Questions — Assumption Parish
Where is the Assumption Parish succession court?
The 23rd Judicial District Court, which serves Assumption, Ascension, and St. James Parishes. Assumption successions are filed with the Assumption Parish Clerk of Court at the courthouse, 4809 Highway 1, Napoleonville, LA 70390.
The estate includes sugarcane land and mineral interests. How is that handled?
Both pass through the succession. The Judgment of Possession transfers the farmland to the heirs, and is what an operator’s royalty department needs to release suspended mineral royalties. We coordinate the recordings across any parishes where the interests sit.
I no longer live on the bayou — can the succession be done remotely?
Yes. We handle Assumption Parish successions entirely remotely; each heir signs one notarized document wherever they live now.
