Note: The Pointe Coupee Parish Clerk of Court Civil Department 'Fees & Estimated Advance Deposits' schedule (Rev. 1/1/2026) lists a New Suit (with no service) at $400.00 and a New Suit (with one service) at $500.00. A succession is a civil filing covered by this schedule; there is no succession-specific or small-succession line item, so the general civil new-suit advance deposit applies. Louisiana imposes no statewide probate tax or value-bracket court-cost scale; each parish Clerk of Court sets its own deposit under the La. R.S. 13:841 maximums. Call (225) 638-9596 for the current succession advance deposit. Verify before filing.
