Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 9, § 3001. Persons authorized to make judicial sales

Judicial sales may be made by the sheriff, by an auctioneer of the parish or city in which the sale is to be made, or by the legal representative of the succession, minor, interdict, or insolvent property owner. In cases where the sale is not to be made by the legal representative, the judge ordering the sale shall direct that it be made by an auctioneer who has been agreed upon by the parties, or if the parties do not agree, by the sheriff or an auctioneer designated by the judge.
