MORGAN CITY, La. — The ongoing discussion surrounding the Avoca property on Avoca Island has intensified as the Singleton family continues to raise concerns about historical land ownership, inheritance rights, and mineral interests tied to long-standing family property in St. Mary Parish.
Family representatives maintain that portions of their ancestral land were once held within the family and later became part of a series of complex transactions involving outside entities over multiple decades. They argue that questions remain about documentation, communication with heirs, and whether all legal processes were fully transparent.
“We are seeking clarity, truth, and accountability regarding what happened to our family land,” a family spokesperson said. “This is about legacy and ensuring future generations understand their rightful history.”
Avoca Island, located near Morgan City, has long reflected broader patterns seen across coastal Louisiana, where family-owned land, agricultural use, and oil and mineral development often overlap within complex legal and environmental histories.
