Successions in Union Parish

Union Parish is a timber, agriculture, and poultry parish in north Louisiana, with Farmerville as its parish seat. Probate and successions are filed in the 3rd Judicial District Court at the Union Parish Courthouse, 100 East Bayou Street, Farmerville. The 3rd JDC serves Lincoln and Union Parishes; Union matters are handled at the Farmerville courthouse.

Union successions reflect a rural economy of timberland, farms, and poultry — the large Farmerville poultry plant (operated by Case Farms as of 2025) is the parish’s largest employer, and Lake D’Arbonne draws recreation and lakefront property. Many estates involve family land held for generations and out-of-state heirs.

Frequently Asked Questions — Union Parish

Where is the Union Parish succession court?

3rd Judicial District Court, Union Parish Courthouse, 100 East Bayou Street, Farmerville, LA 71241. Successions are filed with the Union Parish Clerk of Court.

The estate includes timberland and farmland. Anything special?

Land passes through succession like any immovable property, but a current appraisal — including a timber appraisal where applicable — helps set values for the Descriptive List, and any 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 Farmerville?

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