Successions in Pointe Coupee Parish

Pointe Coupee Parish lies on the west bank of the Mississippi River across from Baton Rouge, with New Roads as its parish seat on the shores of False River. Probate and successions are filed in the 18th Judicial District Court at the Pointe Coupee Parish Courthouse, 201 East Main Street, New Roads. The 18th JDC also serves Iberville and West Baton Rouge Parishes; Pointe Coupee matters are handled at the New Roads courthouse.
Pointe Coupee leads Louisiana in sugarcane production, and False River — an oxbow lake off the Mississippi — anchors a waterfront community of camps and homes.
