Helpful Mississippi rules

Facts that can change the next step

Mississippi deeds have recording fees, not a state transfer tax

Mississippi has no state real-estate transfer tax; deeds are subject to recording fees. The county Chancery Clerk applies the statutory fee schedule and any other recording charge.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

An heir cannot sign for an estate just by being an heir

An executor may sell estate real property before the estate closes when the will gives the executor authority to sell or the chancery court orders the sale. The will, the executor’s appointment, any court order, and the title determine who may convey the house.

If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Foreclosure sale notices run for three consecutive weeks

Most Mississippi deed-of-trust foreclosures proceed without a lawsuit under Miss. Code Ann. § 89-1-55. The trustee must post notice at the courthouse and publish it for three consecutive weeks before the sale. After a completed sale under that section, there is no right of redemption.

If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
