Mississippi Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Mississippi so fast?

Mississippi law does not require a judge to sign off on a foreclosure. The "Power of Sale" in your Deed of Trust allows a Trustee to advertise and sell your home in just **three weeks** of newspaper publication.

Do I have a right to "Catch Up" in Mississippi?

Technically, Mississippi law does **not** grant a statutory right to reinstate. However, most Deeds of Trust allow you to stop the sale by paying arrears up to five days before the auction. You must verify your specific contract immediately.

Can I stay in the home after the sale?

Once the "Hammer Falls" at the courthouse, the new owner can start eviction proceedings immediately. There is **no redemption period** in Mississippi. The only way to stop this is to act while the Notice is still being published.
