Note: The Iberia Parish Clerk of Court's August 2025 Civil Advanced Deposit Fee Schedule lists 'Succession / Probate - Large (Over $200,000.00)' at $500.00 and 'Succession / Probate - Small (Under $200,000.00)' at $250.00 (advance deposits typically cover limited initial service; additional costs may apply). Louisiana imposes no statewide probate tax or value-bracket court-cost scale. The small succession affidavit (La.
