While the average cost of probate in Louisiana can widely range, its generally a fairly expensive process. Many probates will cost a minimum of $5,000. There are some probate fees that most estates will need to pay.
Not all Louisiana wills need to be witnessed by a notary public. Louisiana law allows testators (people creating wills) to choose between creating a notarial will that is signed before a notary and two witnesses and an olographic will that is handwritten.
A: Handwritten wills are perfectly legal in Louisiana. The only purpose behind them is so someone does not have to go to a notary and have witnesses. It just has to be hand written, signed, and dated.

A will must be probated in Louisiana to verify that it is valid. The will must be filed with the court in the parish where the deceased person lived before the succession process can begin. The job of the court is to ensure the wishes of the decedent are honored as stated in the will.
For simple successions, court costs can range from $300.00 to $600.00 depending on the parish where the succession will be filed. When an administration is needed for an estate, court costs will be higher depending on the filings necessary to complete the administration and can range from $1,500.00 up to $3,000.00.
