RS 9:2242
§2242. Registered agent for service of process
A.(1) Any trust created to provide for the payment of settlement of claims or judgments as provided in R.S. 22:46(9)(b) or to pool liabilities as provided in R.S. 23:1195 may appoint a registered agent for service of process. The registered agent may be an individual who is a resident of this state or a partnership or professional law corporation which is authorized to practice law in this state. Legal process and other notices or demands may be served on the trust by service upon the registered agent and, if the registered agent is a partnership, upon any partner.
(2)Written notice of the full name and post office address of the registered agent and a notarized affidavit of acknowledgment and acceptance signed by the registered agent shall be delivered by hand or United States mail to the secretary of state. The failure to deliver a notarized affidavit of acknowledgment and acceptance as required by this Subsection shall not be a defense to proper service of process on the trust. The address of the registered agent may be changed by the registered agent or trust filing written notice of the change with the secretary of state. A copy of the change of address shall also be filed with the recorder of mortgages of the parish of the domicile of the trust. Notice of the change of the name of a professional law corporation or partnership as registered agent shall be filed in the same manner within thirty days after the change.
(3)A registered agent may resign and his resignation shall be effective when written notice thereof has been given to the trust, the secretary of state, and the recorder of mortgages of the parish in which the trust is domiciled. When the registered agent resigns, or if the trust ceases to maintain a registered agent, a successor registered agent may be appointed by the trust within thirty days after the resignation or other event which terminated the tenure of the former registered agent. The full name and post office address of the successor registered agent shall be certified in writing, signed in the name of the trust by at least one trustee, and filed with the secretary of state and the appropriate recorder of mortgages. Upon compliance with the provisions of this Section, including the requirement of a notarized affidavit of acceptance, the successor registered agent shall be vested with the powers of the registered agent succeeded.
B. The secretary of state and each recorder of mortgages of the parish where the trust is domiciled shall keep, for public inspection, a permanent record of registered agents, showing all changes and the date thereof.
