Mississippi Foreclosure Law and Procedure

Here is a summary of foreclosure laws and rules for the State of Mississippi:

  • Lenders can use either a mortgage or deed of trust. Lenders primarily use deed of trust and foreclose by trustee sale.
  • The foreclosure begins with publication.
  • It can take up to 90 days to process the documents and the date of publication must be published for 30 days.
  • There is no right of redemption. The surplus from the sale, if any, goes to secondary lenders.
