Successions in Iberia Parish

Iberia Parish sits in the heart of Acadiana, with New Iberia as its parish seat on Bayou Teche. Probate and successions are filed in the 16th Judicial District Court at the Iberia Parish Courthouse, 300 Iberia Street, New Iberia. The 16th JDC also serves St. Martin and St. Mary Parishes, but Iberia successions are handled at the New Iberia courthouse.

Iberia successions often reflect the parish’s distinctive economy: sugarcane farmland passed down through generations, salt-dome and oilfield service interests tied to Avery Island and the Gulf-coast energy corridor, and Cajun-French heritage families with long-held property along Bayou Teche. Avery Island — home of the McIlhenny Tabasco works atop a working salt dome — anchors the parish’s identity.

Frequently Asked Questions — Iberia Parish

Where is the Iberia Parish succession court?

16th Judicial District Court, Iberia Parish Courthouse, 300 Iberia Street, New Iberia, LA 70560. Successions are filed with the Iberia Parish Clerk of Court.

Do I need to come to New Iberia?

No. We handle Iberia Parish successions entirely remotely — you sign one notarized document at any notary near you and return it.

The estate includes sugarcane land and oilfield mineral interests. How is that handled?

The succession is filed in the parish of domicile (typically Iberia), and the Judgment of Possession is recorded in each parish where land or mineral interests are located. We coordinate filings across all parishes.

The deceased left a handwritten Cajun-French will. Is that valid?

Yes — a handwritten will (olographic testament) is valid in Louisiana if it is entirely written, dated, and signed in the testator’s own hand. It must be probated first, which adds 2–4 weeks. We handle olographic probates routinely.
