Louisiana uses executory process and ordinary process. Understanding the unique Louisiana procedure is critical to your defense.
Under La. C.C.P. art. 2631, executory process uses authentic evidence. The court can issue an order of seizure and sale without a hearing. You must file an injunction suit.
Under ordinary process (La. C.C.P. art. 1201), you have 15 days to Answer. One of the shortest in the US. Default judgment results from failure to respond.
After court order, the sheriff serves a writ of seizure and sale. Under executory process, this can happen quickly. The property is sold at a sheriff's sale.
Louisiana has a three-year prescriptive period for deficiency judgments. No post-sale redemption period exists. The unique civil law system affects deficiency rights.
The most frequent foreclosure scenarios we handle for Louisiana homeowners.
Louisiana's hurricane and flood events create severe insurance and mortgage complications. FEMA, SBA, and Restore Louisiana assistance may be available.
Louisiana's oil and gas job losses frequently trigger mortgage defaults. Specialized documentation for economic displacement is essential.
Medical bills and disability are leading causes of default. Documenting changed circumstances is essential for District Court filings.
Adjustable-rate and balloon mortgages common in rural Louisiana often trigger default. We review for TILA disclosure violations.
Servicer pursued foreclosure while modification was pending — a CFPB dual tracking violation providing defenses in Louisiana District Court.
Layoffs are the most common trigger. Loss mitigation must be explored before the sheriff's sale is scheduled.
These errors can cost you your Louisiana home during foreclosure.
Louisiana's executory process is unique. Under La. C.C.P. art. 2631, the lender can obtain seizure and sale without a hearing. You must file an injunction, not just an Answer.
Under ordinary process, you have only 15 days to Answer. This is the shortest in the nation. Default judgment ends your defense immediately.
Executory process requires "authentic evidence." If the lender lacks properly authenticated documents, the executory process may be invalid. This must be challenged through injunction.
Louisiana follows civil law (Napoleonic Code), not common law. Foreclosure rules differ from all other states. Standardized forms from other states won't work in Louisiana.
Louisiana has a three-year prescriptive period for deficiency judgments. The unique civil law system affects how deficiencies are calculated and pursued.
Louisiana has NO statutory post-sale redemption period. Once the sheriff's sale is complete, you cannot buy the property back. Fight the foreclosure before the sale.
