Louisiana law distinguishes community property from a spouse’s separate property. Property acquired during the community-property regime can be community property; some property remains separate. Property held by a spouse during that regime is presumed to be community property, but that presumption can be rebutted. The deed is a useful starting point, but it may not answer every ownership question by itself.
If the house is community property and the community-property regime is still in place, Louisiana law requires both spouses to agree before community real estate is sold. A judgment of divorce ends that regime. Until former community property is divided, co-ownership rules apply. The deed, divorce judgment, partition papers, and any other order affecting the house need to be reviewed together.
A Louisiana family-law attorney can explain what an agreement or court order means for your situation. The title company reviews the property and closing documents to confirm which signatures and paperwork are needed for this sale. You can start the conversation with us while that review is underway.
If the house, access, repairs, contractors, showings, timing, or communication is where things are getting stuck, tell us what is happening.
