Louisiana is a judicial foreclosure state. Executory process — Louisiana's expedited in-court foreclosure — commonly completes in roughly two to six months when the mortgage was confected as an authentic act containing a confession of judgment. There is no post-sale right of redemption in Louisiana. Because a lender absorbs carrying cost and risk for that entire period, a cash note sale today often beats carrying the credit through foreclosure.
Under the civil-law executory process, the lender files an ex parte petition with the authentic mortgage act and the court issues an order of seizure and sale without ordinary litigation — the borrower must affirmatively enjoin the sale to slow it down. The key structural decision is appraisal: selling with appraisal (minimum bid two-thirds of appraised value) preserves deficiency rights against the borrower and guarantors, while selling without appraisal waives them.
