A Louisiana property conveyance
The property description is not the place to improvise.
Louisiana Civil Code Article 2440 provides that a sale or promise of sale of an immovable must be made by authentic act or act under private signature, subject to the cited Civil Code exception. A cash sale is the straightforward conveyance used when the seller receives the purchase price rather than financing the buyer through a credit sale.
Rouge prepares routine cash-sale acts when the parties already know the transaction they intend to make and the matter is appropriate for notarial preparation. Title disputes, contested ownership, complex tax issues, or transactions requiring legal representation may need an attorney or title professional.

What clients usually want to know.
Is a street address enough to prepare an Act of Sale?
Usually no. Rouge needs the legal property description and source-title information so the act identifies the immovable accurately.
Does Rouge perform a title examination?
Not as part of the standard $300 cash-sale service. If title research, title insurance, litigation, or attorney representation is needed, that work must be handled separately.
Who pays the recording fee?
Recording charges are third-party clerk-of-court costs and are separate from Rouge’s professional-service fee unless a specific quote says otherwise.
Can Rouge come to the property for signing?
Yes, mobile execution can be coordinated within the regular service area when the transaction and parties are ready to sign.
