A Mississippi Abstract of Judgment is a legal document filed with the Mississippi Secretary of State's Office that serves as public notice of a monetary debt owed by a debtor to a creditor. It is a lien on the debtor's property that can be enforced by the creditor. There are two types of Mississippi Abstracts of Judgment: General Abstracts and Foreign Abstracts. A General Abstract of Judgment is created when a court in Mississippi issues a judgment, while a Foreign Abstract of Judgment is created when a court in another state issues a judgment. Both General Abstracts and Foreign Abstracts are recorded with the Mississippi Secretary of State's Office and serve as public notice of the debt.
