Frequently Asked Questions — Lincoln Parish
Where is the Lincoln Parish succession court?
3rd Judicial District Court, Lincoln Parish Courthouse, 100 West Texas Avenue, Ruston, LA 71270. Successions are filed with the Lincoln Parish Clerk of Court.
Do I need to come to Ruston?
No. We handle Lincoln Parish successions entirely remotely — you sign one notarized document at any notary near you and return it.
The decedent was a Louisiana Tech faculty member. Are there retirement-account issues?
Often. University employees commonly have TRSL, ORP, or other retirement accounts that pass by beneficiary designation rather than through succession. We sort out which assets actually go through the succession during intake.
The decedent owned land but left no will. Who inherits?
In an intestate Louisiana succession, the descendants inherit first, with the surviving spouse receiving a usufruct over the deceased’s half of community property. More on intestate successions.
