Abstract: Provides that interdiction records be mailed to the registrar of voters in the parish in
which the interdict is registered to vote.
Present law provides that the clerk of court shall record a notice of the filing of the interdiction suit
and record every judgment granting, modifying, or terminating interdiction in the conveyance and
mortgage records of the parish in which the judgment was rendered.
Present law provides that the curator shall cause the judgment of interdiction to be recorded in the
conveyance and mortgage records of every other parish in which the interdict owns immovable

shall mail a copy of the judgment of interdiction to the registrar of voters and shall mail a copy of
any modification or termination to the registrar of voters of the parish in which the interdict resides.
