Filing & Fees
Fee Schedule Signals
Probate Filing Fees
| Filing Type | Fee |
|---|---|
Formal Administration Standard probate for larger estates | $350 |
Small Estate Affidavit For estates under threshold (no court filing needed) | $0 |
Note: The Bossier Parish Clerk of Court Civil Suit Fees schedule lists Succession, Tutorship, Name Change at a $350.00 advance deposit; a general new suit is $350.00 without service or $400.00 with one service. No separate small-succession line is published (a small succession by affidavit is recorded under the Recording Fees schedule). Louisiana has no statewide probate tax and no value-bracket court-cost scale; each parish Clerk of Court sets its own advance deposit under the La. R.S. 13:841 maximums. The clerk site is a single-page app; the fee table lives at the Fees / Civil Suit Fees route. Verify the current succession deposit and recording costs directly with the Bossier Parish Clerk of Court at (318) 965-2336 before relying on a figure.
