This is N| the Law BY THOMAS F. ADAMS, JR. (For North Carolina Bar Association) Title Examination How often you have heard an ex pression such as, “I bought my prop erty (real estate) at a sale ordered by the court, so I know my title is good.” Thousands of dollars are spent annually for the purchase of property held at sales to collect taxes, settle estates, and the like, without exami nation of titles because of the mistak en belief that the courts assume a re-1 sponsibility for the condition of the title. Any title attorney will tell you that,! as a class, titles which have been through court proceedings contain more defects than any others. Gen erally, the court has no duty other than to pass on the issues submitted to it. The condition of the title to property to be sold is not usually One of the issues. It is up to the buyer to satisfy himself as to the condition Announcement We Are Pleased to Inform the Public That— Mr. Sam Moore Is Now Associated With Us In Our Mechanical Department Mr. Moore is an expert Automobile Me- and he invites his many friends to call upon him any time he might render service.

In doing so, however, the county or municipality must follow closely the procedure required by the law. If any detail is overlooked, a sale pursuant to the foreclosure may later be set aside, thereby causing the buyer to give up the land. Must Notify Owner For example, the law requires that , the owners of the property be noti fied of such foreclosure by a sum i mons which must be personally serv ■ ed if the owners can be found by dili • gent search within the state. Often I this cannot be done because the own i er has abandoned the property and ; moved to another community, and his ■ residence is unknown to county offi i cials. When the property becomes, THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C„ THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1954. more valuable at a later date, the pur chaser finds it is almost impossible to avoid having the property taken from him by the former owner who can show that if county officials had made a diligent search, they could have personally served a summons on such former owner. Often the executor of an estate finds it necessary to sell the real es tate for the purpose of obtaining funds to pay the debts of the de ceased. In doinig so, the executor | must remember that the real estate belongs to the heirs of the deceased and not to the estate itself, or to the executor. It is merely subject to the call of the executor, who may sell it to pay debts if the personal property of the deceased is insufficient for this purpose. In making such sale, how ever, the executor must give to each heir proper notice that the sale will be made, must prove the insufficiency of the personal property of the de ceased to pay the deceased’s debts, and must otherwise comply with the requirements of the law authorizing such sale. A failure to do any of tl.ese things may create a defective title to the property sold. Correcting such defects is difficult and often very expensive if they are not discovered until after the estate is closed. No Warranty Deed In addition, the purchaser of prop l erty which is sold under order of court I usually gets a deed without warranty, so if the title is found to be defective, the owner has no one to whom he can turn and demand payment of his dam ages. Every attorney has seen dozens of clients invest savings in property hav-; ing defective titles such as outlined above. Your attorney would much ra ther charge you a small fee for ex amining your title and protecting your investment than a large fee for try ing to clear a cloudy title.

Gar ren, assistant research professor of poultry science, N. C. State College.
