What Mississippi law says about recovery services

Mississippi caps finder fees at 10% of recoverable value (or $50, whichever is greater) and blocks any fee-seeking until 7 months after the state receives the property — a notably shorter waiting period than most states. Uniquely, the State Treasurer must approve every finder contract before it's valid, which is a mandatory filing/approval step; the exact required disclosures within that contract should be confirmed against the raw statute text with counsel, since Claude could not directly load the statute page (blocked by the site) and relied on a search-engine excerpt.
