Franklin Parish Clerk of Court Guide

Note: The Franklin Parish Clerk of Court's civil advanced-deposit schedule lists successions under the 'Petition - 1 Service' category at $350.00 (additional service/copy charges may apply). The clerk publishes a single succession advance deposit, so both the formal_administration and small_estate_affidavit fields carry $350.00. Louisiana imposes no statewide probate tax or value-bracket court-cost scale; the small succession affidavit (La. C.C.P. art. 3421, gross estate of $200,000 or less) is executed before a notary and, for real estate, recorded in the parish conveyance records - confirm the recording cost with the Clerk. Verify the current deposit with the Franklin Parish Clerk of Court before filing.
