HB 175 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

PROPERTY: Provides for the partition of property

HB 175 updates Louisiana's property partition laws to clarify how co-owned property is divided. It establishes a new priority for private sales between existing co-owners (over public auctions) when possible, and requires courts to use detailed property inventories as the basis for division. The bill also creates clear rules for undivided ownership rights continuing until partition, adds the Louisiana Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act, and repeals outdated succession partition rules. This directly affects property co-owners, heirs, and estate administrators in Louisiana by streamlining division procedures.
