If that cure requires litigation, we will be happy to refer to a practice that does handle that type of service.

Real Estate, Closings, & Estate Planning Legal Team
Meet the team
Attorney Kelly Walker. I first discovered my love for real property in law school. After my first year, I knew I wanted to be a closing attorney even though I'd never seen a closing. After graduation, I was offered a job with a Greensboro law firm as a paralegal and then attorney doing exclusively closings. It was then I realized just how exciting real estate is. I knew I was officially a Dirt Nerd.
Dirt Law. Seems like such a funny name but it is exactly what we deal with as real estate attorneys. Sure, your house is on the dirt, but it is ultimately the dirt underneath that will always be passing from one owner to the next. We want our land to be transferrable and the way we do that is to make sure you have marketable and insurable title. Dirt law may seem really dry and boring to the majority of people, but to me it is fun and entertaining. One of the reasons dirt law is entertaining to me is because our ownership of land is a record of our family's history and connection to our community.
It is our family's history where dirt law intersects with estate planning. The ownership of land has long been a key method to creating and maintaining generational wealth. One of the best ways to protect and preserve that generational wealth is through estate planning. Your home is likely one of the most significant assets you own so why not pass it on with a proper estate plan?
