Successions in Terrebonne Parish

Terrebonne Parish covers Houma and the bayou communities of south-central Louisiana — Chauvin, Dulac, Pointe-aux-Chenes, Montegut, and Cocodrie. Probate and successions are filed in the 32nd Judicial District Court at 7856 Main Street, Houma.

Terrebonne successions reflect the parish’s distinct economy: oilfield-services families with multi-state mineral interests, shrimping and commercial-fishing estates with vessels and dock equipment, and Houma Native American tribal-related property issues. Hurricane-recovery estates have been a recurring theme since Hurricane Ida (2021).

Frequently Asked Questions — Terrebonne Parish

Where is the Terrebonne succession court?

32nd Judicial District Court, 7856 Main Street, Houma, LA 70360.

The decedent owned a shrimp boat. Does that go through succession?

Yes — vessels are movable property and pass through succession. We coordinate with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries and the Coast Guard for title transfer once the Judgment of Possession is signed.

The decedent had offshore mineral interests in addition to Terrebonne minerals. Where do we file?

Filed in the parish of domicile (typically Terrebonne if the decedent lived in Houma). Offshore mineral interests in federal waters are handled differently than state-water minerals; we coordinate with BOEM and BSEE as needed during the descriptive-list stage.
