Successions in St. Helena Parish

St. Helena Parish is a rural Florida-Parishes parish of pine timberland and small farms, with Greensburg as its parish seat. Probate and successions are filed in the 21st Judicial District Court at the St. Helena Parish Courthouse, 369 Sitman Street, Greensburg. The 21st JDC serves Livingston, St. Helena, and Tangipahoa Parishes; St. Helena matters are handled at the Greensburg courthouse.

Frequently Asked Questions — St. Helena Parish

Where is the St. Helena Parish succession court?

21st Judicial District Court, St. Helena Parish Courthouse, 369 Sitman Street, Greensburg, LA 70441. Successions are filed with the St. Helena Parish Clerk of Court.

The estate includes pine timberland. Anything special about timberland successions?

Timberland passes through succession like any immovable property, but a current timber appraisal helps set values for the Descriptive List, and we make sure any timber-lease or hunting-lease income is addressed in the Judgment of Possession.

No succession was opened for my grandparents’ land. Can we still fix the title?

Yes. We can open the necessary successions to bring the chain of title current so the land can be sold, mortgaged, or partitioned — even when a generation was skipped.

Heirs live out of state. Do they need to come to Greensburg?

No. We handle St. Helena successions remotely; each heir signs one notarized document wherever they live and returns it to us.
