MS HB168

Amends Section 15-1-13 of the Mississippi Code to require the non-prevailing party in an adverse possession action to pay all court costs and attorney's fees.

Maintains existing adverse possession requirements: 10 years of actual, uninterrupted possession vests full title in the occupant.

Preserves existing protections for persons under disability (minority or unsoundness of mind) to sue within 10 years after disability removal, with a 31-year maximum limit.

Retains existing provisions allowing landowners to file written notice with the chancery clerk if a fence or driveway is built without permission to prevent adverse possession claims.

Effective July 1, 2013.
