Frequently Asked Questions
 
Is there a form prescribed for submitting applications for recovery from the Recovery Fund?
 

No. Applications are to be submitted by letter to the Commission requesting payment from the Fund. Enclose the original or certified copies of all documents filed by or on behalf of the claimant with a court of competent jurisdiction and documents issued by a court or other entity in connection with the effort to recover.
 

What steps must be taken to institute action to recover from the Recovery Fund?
 

The Louisiana Real Estate License Law specifically requires claimants to notify the Commission by certified mail at the time action to recover is initiated. This is accomplished by sending a letter to the Commission with a copy of the petition bearing a stamp that indicates the date on which the petition was filed with the court.
 

Can a licensed real estate broker or salesperson, who acted as a principal in a real estate transaction, submit a claim to the Commission for recovery from the Recovery Fund?
  Yes, provided the conditions for establishing eligibility for recovery have been satisfied.
