Property Defense

Jackson and Central Mississippi Property Defense Attorneys

Whether you live on land that has been in your family for generations or have worked hard for years to purchase property, having your land threatened in any way can be a major shock. When you need to get to the bottom of a land rights claim or defend the title to your home in a property dispute, contact Milner & Nixon, PLLC for understanding and powerful legal knowledge.

Residential, Commercial and Agricultural Property Defense

Many types of property disputes — from honest misunderstandings to real battles — arise over land in Mississippi. We encourage you to contact our firm when:

• You bought your property some time ago, but another citizen now says he or she owns the land through inheritance or some other reason.
• A neighbor claims to have a lien on your property, ownership through "adverse possession" or an easement for the right to use your land.
• You have been served with papers indicating someone else owns your property because of an overlooked tax lien, lack of title insurance or problem with your real estate closing.
• You have a boundary dispute with a neighbor, often involving old fence lines or new construction.
• You are facing the sale of your land because of eminent domain.
• You need a will or trust to ensure your property will pass to your chosen heirs.

Finding the Facts to Support Your Case in a Property Dispute

Our attorneys have the knowledge and resources to perform a thorough independent title examination for your property, and we guarantee the accuracy of our findings. In fact, we also provide this service to title insurance companies looking for answers in cases of:

• Analyzing breaks in the chain of title
• Indexing errors and other clerical problems
• Mapping errors that occur in the assessor's office

We are results-oriented lawyers. In plain terms, we advise you of what you need to do to fix land record problems and defend your property against foreclosures. For many disputes, we file a lawsuit rather than continue with letters or other unproductive communication. When you need property defense or other legal counsel, contact us for a practical strategy and call to action.
