Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina
Deed to property
My grandfather purchased a parcel in western NC in the 40s. Upon his death, it was probated to my grandmother. It was probated to my father and his brother after her passing. My uncle quitclaimed his interest to my father in exchange for title to another parcel. My father quitclaimed it to his cousin to hold until my return from overseas. Before my return, my father's uncle passed away (with no will - but surviving heirs). I took the matter to an attorney in the area in which the parcel is located (in 1996). I have done 90% of the legwork for him (obtaining certified copies of quitclaims, probates, etc). 11 years later - he has not completed my case. I've contaced other attorneys in the area, but noone else wants to touch this. What are my options at this point?

Re: Deed to property
Without knowing anything of the specific facts, it is hard to say. It sounds like you need an attorney to help you with the process. Perhaps someone from out of the county?
You may want to send some type of letter to your attorney demanding an accounting of his time, etc and asking what the status is. If that doesn't help, you could consider filing a complaint with the Bar and/or a malpractice suit (if you lose rights to the property that you otherwise would have had).
