A practical guide for landowners, buyers, and heirs in land, farm, and timber transactions.
Every year in Acadiana and across Louisiana timberlands, buyers discover the property they seek has no access to a public road. While Louisiana law protects landowners from being completely cut off from access, that legal right alone is often not enough to satisfy a lender, title company, or buyer. To be meaningful at the closing table, access should be evidenced by a recorded servitude, judgment, or other instrument filed in the parish conveyance records.
