Got to help a client today with a very important legal matter. It wasn't "hard" in an intellectual sense, but it was very rewarding and...dare I say, fun!

Some days that just hit different.

September 1, 2026, marked one full year since I started Lakeland Law Group, PLLC.

I’m happy to report that my family did not starve, and I’ve enjoyed helping friends, clients, and new partners work through their business contracts and transactional matters.

Sure, there have been challenges along the way, but I’m grateful for the opportunity to practice law AND build a business. I'm having fun and very optimistic about the future.

Thank you to all of my clients and friends who have trusted me with your work, referred someone my way, or simply encouraged me along the way. I sincerely appreciate it.

Let's go!

If your Mississippi residential lease doesn't authorize notice by text message, you are likely missing a valuable right.

Mississippi Residential Landlord and Tenant law allows certain statutory notices to be delivered by email or text message if the tenant has agreed in writing to receive notices electronically.

That means if your lease doesn't authorize notice by text or email, you will likely need to provide notice the old-fashioned way, costing additional time and money, even if you already communicate with your tenant by text message.

An online lease form or an AI generated lease may look adequate, but it might miss the nuance that can make a real difference.

A good lawyer isn't just filling in a form. A good lawyer is exercising judgment, anticipating issues, and staying current with the law where it matters most.

"Any claim arising out of this Agreement must be brought within one year after the claim accrued."

Most commercial attorneys have seen similar limitation provisions. They're common in commercial contract forms, particularly SaaS agreements.

Many commercial attorneys may not realize that Mississippi has a fairly unique statute, Mississippi Code § 15-1-5, which generally prohibits parties from varying the applicable statutes of limitation by contract.

It hasn't generated much appellate discussion, but I wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of it.

Executing the contract is a single step in what should be a comprehensive process.

It's 10 days after the contract was signed, do you know where the full executed copy is located? [Read this like the old commercial - It's 10PM, do you know where your kids are?]

Most people know they need a will or estate plan. They know it's important. They fully intend to get it done.

They just never make it a priority. I get it. Allocating time and money for an estate plan is peak "adulting." It's like buying tires.

The best estate plan isn't the most sophisticated one. It isn't the one you've been meaning to do for the last three years. It's the one that's actually completed. Done!

Set a deadline. Make the appointment. Sign the documents.

"Meaning to do it" doesn't matter. Getting it done does.

Have you ever wondered how Reservoir leases actually work?

Well, here is a quick explainer.

The Pearl River Valley Water Supply District (PRVWSD or PRV) is a state governmental entity that operates the Reservoir and owns much of the adjacent land. PRV leases that land and collects annual lease fees to fund its operations. PRV is managed by a board of directors and an executive director.

Practically speaking, “buying” property that is PRV leasehold is very similar to buying any other property, but there are a few important differences a buyer should understand.

Say you find a nice house on PRV property that you want to “buy.” The seller will deed you the house and improvements, but they will also assign their lease from PRV.

In most cases, PRV originally leased the property to a developer or builder for a long term, typically 60 years. That original tenant then assigned the lease to a buyer, who later assigned it to the next buyer, and so on until it reaches your seller, who then assigns it to you.

An assignment simply means transferring rights under the lease to someone else. When you buy a PRV home, the seller assigns their lease rights to you.

As noted, PRV leases are typically 60 years long. So your seller’s seller may have had the original lease with a 60 year term. But what happens if you want a 30 year loan and the lease only has 15 years left?

Most lenders will not make a loan that extends beyond the remaining lease term. In those situations the closing attorney will request that PRV grant a new 60 year lease. In most cases PRV will approve that request without much fanfare. The lease assignment is recorded and the buyer receives a new lease from PRV for another 60 years, along with the annual lease fees required under the lease.

Of course, there are requirements in the PRV lease that a buyer or lessee should review and understand.

Buying a home on PRV land can involve a few additional steps at closing to make sure the lender is comfortable, especially if the lender is not familiar with reservoir lease property.

What Reservoir property are you watching?

Six months ago today, I left a good law firm and opened my own practice.

I traded the safety of salary for the opportunity to create real upside and build something.

The past six months have flown by. It has not been easy, and I've experienced the normal highs and challenges that come with running a business, but I'm grateful.

I’m grateful for the clients who’ve trusted me with important matters, and for the professionals who’ve sent work and support my way.

The foundation is strong and momemtum is building. Let's go!
