Louisiana Deed Forms

Louisiana is a civil-law jurisdiction. Real-estate transfers usually use authentic-act concepts, not common-law deed labels, and may require notary, two witnesses, and signatures by the parties to the act.

Available for civil-law warranty transfers

Louisiana Act of Sale with Warranty

A Louisiana act-of-sale path for transfers where civil-law warranty treatment is intended.

Best fit
  • sale transfers with warranty treatment
  • Louisiana authentic-act structure
  • parish-recorded immovable-property transfers
Watch for
  • authentic-act execution, community-property, and redhibition/as-is issues may require notary or attorney review
  • parish recording requirements are separate
View Louisiana Warranty Transfer
Available for selected no-warranty transfers

Louisiana Transfer Without Warranty

A Louisiana transfer-of-rights path for selected transfers where the transferor does not warrant that the transferred rights exist.

Best fit
  • known-party transfers
  • title-clearing with civil-law review
  • no-warranty transfers where appropriate
Watch for
  • not ordinary common-law quitclaim terminology
  • authentic-act, redhibition/as-is, community-property, and parish-recording issues may still apply

Specialty transfer issues

Servitudes, correction acts, fiduciary transfers, succession, tax, capacity, redhibition/as-is, community-property, and title-defect issues require individualized help.

Professional help recommended

Important Louisiana recording notes

  • Louisiana immovable-property transfers are recorded in the parish conveyance records; Orleans Parish has its own Land Records Division practices.
  • Authentic-act execution generally involves a notary or authorized officer and two witnesses, with party signatures handled in the act structure.
  • Louisiana warranty, transfer-without-warranty, redhibition/as-is, community-property, spouse-concurrence, and capacity issues are civil-law concepts that should be reviewed carefully.
  • Parish recording fees, mortgage/conveyance records, and local notarial practice can affect recording even when no state deed transfer tax applies.
  • Grant, common-law deed, correction, servitude, fiduciary, succession, and other specialty paths remain gated unless separately approved.

How to choose

Sale with warranty protection

A Louisiana act of sale with warranty may fit transfers where civil-law warranty treatment is intended.

Transfer without warranty

A Louisiana transfer of rights without warranty may fit selected known-party transfers where no title warranty is intended.

Civil-law, notarial, or community-property questions

Use a Louisiana notary, attorney, title professional, or parish recording office for transaction-specific execution and recording questions.
