Common situations in Caddo Parish
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
Caddo Parish successions go through the First Judicial District Court. If the house is still titled to a relative who died years ago, the succession has to be opened before the heirs can sell.

In Caddo Parish, a lender usually seeks an order of seizure and sale in the First Judicial District Court, and the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office sells the house. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
The Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office collects property taxes and conducts the annual tax sale, where liens on delinquent parcels are auctioned.

Selling for cash in Shreveport: questions
My family's Shreveport house has sat empty for years and the heirs are scattered across several states. How does a sale work?
Each heir can usually sign the act of sale before a notary wherever they live, and a cash buyer can look at the house on its own. If the succession was never opened, a Louisiana attorney will need to handle that first.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Shreveport?
Louisiana sales are signed before a notary, usually at a title company, and the closing pays off the mortgage, the parish taxes and any recorded liens before you're paid. Once you accept an offer, most Caddo Parish cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
