Formal Administration Standard probate for larger estates | $450 |

Note: Louisiana imposes no statewide probate tax or value-bracket court-cost scale; each parish Clerk of Court sets its own succession advance court-cost deposit subject to the La. R.S. 13:841 maximums. The Iberville Parish Clerk of Court Civil Department fee table lists New Probates at $450.00 (a Louisiana succession is filed as a probate matter); a general new suit with one service is $500.00 for reference, and no separate small-succession line is published. The small succession affidavit (La. C.C.P. art. 3421, gross estate of $125,000 or less) is executed before a notary and, for real estate, recorded in the parish conveyance records. Call the Iberville Parish Clerk of Court at (225) 687-5160 to confirm the current succession deposit and recording fees before filing.
