Biography
I am a local attorney with a focus on real estate, landlord-tenant, and wills and estates. But I can and will take any matter that arises should you need me, if I do not feel comfortable in handling your matter I will do my best to find you a lawyer that is.
I live in Yadkin County and am raising my family here. I have served in the Army since 2004 and have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan during my time in service. After completing my active service I attended UNC-Greensboro and then Wake Forest School of Law, and have continued to serve as a member of the Army Reserves.

Legal Answers
383 Questions Answered
- Q. Am I responsible for my deceased mother's Medical debt? Can they take her home, deed is in my name, mortgage is in hers
- A: Without seeing the actual bills and the deed transferring the property to you, I can't give you an answer. I suggest taking all the paperwork to a local attorney and having them give you specific advice.
The mortgage company will likely require you to get a new mortgage or, if you are lucky, assign the mortgage to you. This will probably happen within the next six months.
- Q. Is it illegal for a property management company to send a repair technician out to the property without prior notice?
- A: It depends on the circumstances of the needed repairs and your specific lease agreement, but most lease agreements do have provisions detailing inspections/repairs.
NC does not require notice by statute, and in emergency situations, the landlord is all but certainly allowed entry without notice. The recording may be company policy to protect them and you, but much of what you are asking is highly situational and would need an actual review of your lease.
- Q. The judge has made his ruling. Husband has no claims to wife's house. During appeal, can husband file a Lis Pendens?
- A: I don't see a reason why not; a sale would likely be held up regardless if the closing attorney is doing their job properly. But a list pendens seems proper here.
