Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Mississippi
Title Change
My mother died in 1996 with no will. I am her only living relative and my brother died in 2005 without a wife or children. My mom owned land in Mississippi, what do I have to do remove her name off of the deed and add my name? I pay the property taxes and have since 1996.

Re: Title Change
You will need to file an action to determine the heirs in the county where the land is located and have the court declare you are the only heir and owner of the property. To find an attorney to help you go to the Mississippi bar's on line directory. http://www.msbar.org/lawyerdirectory.php
