Louisiana law recognizes servitudes, which are similar to easements and can be defined as a burden or charge on one property that is for the benefit of another property. There are two types of servitudes: predial and personal (CC 533). A predial servitude is closely related to an easement appurtenant and is a burden on the servient estate for the benefit of the dominant of estate. A personal servitude is a charge or burden on something for the benefit of an individual. The three types of personal servitude are: usufruct (the use of property for a benefit as long as it is not damaged), habitation, and right-of-use (this is similar to an easement while allowing use of the property but denying full enjoyment of the property) (CC 534). A usufruct can be established by juridical act or by operation of law (CC 544).

As an interest in real property (immovable property) in Louisiana, an easement deed or servitude is subject to the laws of other real estate instruments. The grantor to an easement deed should sign the instrument and have his or her signature acknowledged. Some recording clerks in Louisiana will require the signature to be in authentic form, which although not a statutory requirement is nonetheless a common practice in Louisiana. An instrument in authentic form requires the signature of each party who executed the instrument. Easement deeds may be acknowledged in Louisiana or out-of-state. If executed out of state, an easement will have the same force and effect as if executed by or before a notary public in Louisiana (RS 35:5).

There are three different types of written instruments in Louisiana: the authentic act, the act under private signature duly acknowledged, and the act under private signature or writing. The authentic act is used for most deeds and recorded documents. An authentic act is executed in writing before a notary public, in the presence of two witnesses, and signed by each party who executed the warranty deed or other instrument. Both the witnesses and notary public must sign. The act under private signature duly acknowledged is a written instrument signed before a notary public. The presence of witnesses is not required for the signing of this type of document; however, witnesses need to be present when the notary signs. The act under private signature is not used often.

Easement deeds and other real estate instruments are recorded in the parish at the clerk of courts office in the parish where the real property (immovable) is located. An easement deed is not effective against third persons until the easement deed is filed for registry in the conveyance records of the parish where the real property is located (CC 517). This type of recording act is known as a race statute. Priority of documents is determined by the order of filing.

Forms used, created quitclaim deed that the county accepted without a second look (turns out they see deeds.com forms regularly via erecording and in person). Will be back for any real estate related forms I need and they carry. Will always be my first stop. Also, will use erecording next time, mad I didn't see it this time.

Sorry to hear that your expectations were missed. Your order has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your expectations elsewhere. Do keep in mind that purchasing legal forms should not be an exploratory endeavor.

It's hard having to change names on an account when someone dies. I called and was helped by a rep named Lilah. She was most helpful and comforting. Thank you again Lilah.

The purchasing process was very slick and my credit card was charged IMMEDIATELY. The deliver went well as the link was provided immediately.

However I asked a question via the "Contact Us" link and days later I get a survey but no reply.

I may have been directed to the wrong forms via my County and I wanted to confirm that...but still no answer.

What would that deserve as a rating???

Once I had everything right;the recording was fast and easy. I was updated at every juncture and apprised of my mistakes in order to fix and record my deed. To improve service: I think that several different examples and scenarios would have helped. If you have different names from your children; birth certificates and marriage certificates are a requirement in Clark County, NV. If you want to add anyone to the deed in a Quit Claim Deed; you have to add yourself as a grantee even if you are the grantor along with the other grantees.
