The Suit department processes all new civil suits, successions and judicial commitments. It is also the function of this department to issue the appropriate papers necessary for service.
We issue citations, rules, temporary restraining orders, injunctions, protective orders, writs of seizure and sale, writs of fifa, writs of possessions, bench warrants, notices of judgment, commissions to sell and commissions to take inventory, and subpoenas to name a few.
In addition to this we send legal ads to the newspaper for publication when required in a suit on succession. We record all money judgments, judgments of interdiction, judgments of name change, wills, renunciation, judgments conveying title or ownership, such as judgments of possession and issue notice of judgment when required by law.
