Transferring title by adverse possession is usually a defense to ejectment, not a suit for you to file as plaintiff. Right now you do not have color of... View More

There is no limitation on the time that Mississippi can collect sales taxes from you.
answered on Apr 16, 2022
Dependent upon the circumstances, the State of Mississippi has no such statute of limitations, and the amount of tax due may be determined, assessed and collected and suit or proceedings for the collection of the tax may be begun at any time after it becomes due.

man has also passed leaving a wife. Her name is not on the warranty deed but she has agreed to sign property over to me. How can this be done easily? Also there is a lien in my father's name against property.

A deed would transfer the property back to you and there would have to be a release of the lien. You should get with a real estate attorney who can... View More
