Complete·5/22/26

Louisiana HB215 raises the property value threshold for small successions from $125,000 to $200,000.

Louisiana HB215 amends the Code of Civil Procedure to redefine small successions. The bill increases the maximum property value that qualifies for a small succession from $125,000 to $200,000. This change affects individuals who die domiciled in Louisiana and leave property within the new value limit. The bill's provisions streamline the process for handling smaller estates, potentially reducing administrative burdens.
