Louisiana Foreclosure Law and Procedure

  • Lenders foreclose with judicial foreclosure. However, Louisiana is the only state that follows the Napoleonic Code.
  • Their two types of foreclosure are “ordinary” and “executory.” The executory foreclosure is quicker but requires the borrower to confess judgment.
  • There is no right of redemption.
