Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina
Ex husband was served in forclosure, I was not
I lost my interest in a rental property that my ex and I owned jointly. I did not find out until 2 months after the sale. It was a rental and the tenants dealt with and paid my ex, who lived in another town. When two certified envelopes were delivered to the rental in each of our names, the tenant wrote on the envelopes that we lived in another town. I did not want to lose that house. The deed recorded at the courthouse had an address that I could have be located at. After the service to the rental house, all correspondance was made with my ex at his office. Do I have any recourse against anyone? I have contacted the foreclosing attorney and they insisted they did the service legally. There was the address on the deed, legal separation documents recorded at the same courthouse the house and deed were located at.

You may have some recourse depending on the situation. Have you spoken with the Clerk of Court in the County where it was sold and told
him/her that you never received any notice?
