Deeds of trust require the signatures of the grantor and a notary public.[1] The document must be filed with the Chancery Clerk’s Office for the county where the property is located.

Documents must be formatted as follows before being presented for recording[2]:

  • White paper
  • Text must be at least 10pt in size
  • Margins must be 0.75″, except for a 3″ top margin on the first page

Statute of Limitations

In Mississippi, the beneficiary’s right to foreclose expires three years from the date the full loan amount is due.[3] There is a six-month period after the statute of limitations’ expiration during which the deed of trust’s lien may be extended.[4]
