Probate Filing Fees

Standard probate for larger estates
$105
Small Estate Affidavit
For estates under threshold (no court filing needed)
$105

Note: Louisiana imposes no statewide probate tax and no value-bracket court-cost scale; each parish Clerk of Court sets its own advance court-cost deposit under the La. R.S. 13:841 maximums and collects advance costs under La. R.S. 13:842. The Winn Parish Clerk of Court does not publish a numeric succession/civil advance-deposit amount online; that succession-opening deposit is therefore NOT independently confirmed here and must be verified directly with the Clerk before relying on a figure. The figure recorded in formal_administration ($105) is the verified parish cost to record a judgment of possession or small succession affidavit for real estate (1-5 pages; $205 for 6-25 pages, $305 for 26-50 pages, $305 plus $5 per page over 50; includes up to 10 indexed names and a certified copy), which is the confirmed parish-published succession-related cost; the small succession affidavit (not court-filed) carries this same $105 recording cost where real estate is involved. The statutory default succession representative compensation is 2.5% of the inventory (La. C.C.P. art. 3351). Verify the actual succession advance-cost deposit with the Clerk of Court.
