Get Your Free Written OfferLouisiana and Florida share Gulf Coast proximity, and many Florida families have Louisiana roots. If you inherited mineral rights in Louisiana—from family who lived in Shreveport, New Orleans, Lafayette, or the rural parishes—you're managing an asset governed by Louisiana's unique civil law system.
Louisiana is the only state that operates under civil law (derived from French and Spanish legal traditions) rather than common law. This creates unique challenges for mineral owners:
Mineral servitudes can "prescribe" (expire) after 10 years of non-use
Louisiana's inheritance laws differ from other states
Parish-level variations in lease terms and practices
Louisiana state income tax on royalty income
We buy minerals throughout Louisiana. The state's major producing regions include:
Northwest Louisiana natural gas giant. Parishes: Caddo, Bossier, DeSoto, Red River. One of America's largest gas fields.
Central Louisiana oil play. Parishes: St. Martin, Iberia, St. Mary, Assumption, Pointe Coupee. Emerging development.
South Louisiana onshore production. Parishes: Terrebonne, Lafourche, Cameron, Vermilion. Historic oil and gas region.
North Louisiana tight gas play. Parishes: Lincoln, Union, Claiborne, Webster. Long-producing formation with remaining potential.
Louisiana operates under civil law, which affects mineral ownership differently than other states:
Prescription: Mineral servitudes can expire after 10 years without production or drilling
Forced heirship: Louisiana has unique inheritance rules that may affect mineral transfers
Community property: Minerals may be community property even if titled in one spouse's name
Usufruct: Louisiana's version of life estates can complicate mineral ownership
