Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina

You need to do, or hire a local lawyer to do, a "title search" so that you can find out who actually owns it. It may still be tied up in the decedent's estate. You will need to pay for a title search upon buying the land anyway, so this is not a wasted expense if you buy it.
