Adverse Possession; prohibit right of title.

Mississippi's HB 298 amends state law to permanently prohibit adverse possession claims from establishing legal ownership of land. The bill changes Section 15-1-13 to state that no one can gain title to property simply by occupying it without permission for a certain period. This directly affects landowners and individuals who might have attempted to claim ownership through long-term, unauthorized use of property. The law takes effect on July 1, 2025.
