FAQs

Common Questions

A Small Succession is a simplified legal process that allows heirs to transfer property from a deceased person’s estate without going through full probate, provided the estate meets Louisiana’s value and eligibility limits.

You may qualify if the deceased was a Louisiana resident whose property had a gross value of $200,000 or less at the date of death. A separate $125,000 limit applies where the deceased was domiciled outside Louisiana but left property here. An estate qualifies at any value if the death occurred at least 20 years before the affidavit. A notary can confirm eligibility.

Not always. Many Small Successions in Louisiana can be completed using a properly prepared and notarized affidavit, which Title Authority can assist with from start to finish.

You’ll need the death certificate, information on heirs, a list of assets, and the property title details. Our team prepares the affidavit and ensures it meets all legal requirements.

Most Small Successions can be completed in just a few days once all information is gathered. With Title Authority’s notaries, the process is fast, accurate, and stress free.
