Frequently Asked Questions — West Feliciana Parish

Where is the West Feliciana Parish succession court?

20th Judicial District Court, West Feliciana Parish Courthouse, 4785 Prosperity Street, St. Francisville, LA 70775. Successions are filed with the West Feliciana Parish Clerk of Court.

The property has been in the family since the 1800s. Can chain-of-title gaps be fixed?

Yes. We can open the necessary successions to bring a historic chain of title current so the land can be sold, mortgaged, or partitioned — even across multiple skipped generations.

The estate includes timberland and hunting property. Anything special?

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

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

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