julie pooch  +  609710 Thu, 11 Dec 08 12:19 AM This statement is from a legal document.  To whom do the "costs" belong? "The attorney's fees and costs of Ms. Jones will be paid.." Thanks,  Julie julie pooch Joined on Thu, Dec 11 2008 New Member 01 Possessives, Whom

The costs belong to Ms Jones.  The sentence does read a tad odd-- are you sure that it does not read 'the attorney's fees and other costs of Ms Jones'?  (There should also be no stop after Ms.  It is not an abbreviated form.) .
