8:55 Welcome and Introductions
9:00 The Power of Geographic Information Services (GIS)‡
Hope Morgan, AECOM, Raleigh
Dawn Perry, Orange County Tax Administration, Hillsborough
We all know we are not supposed to rely on GIS maps for our legal opinions, so what can we use them for? Gain insight into what a GIS is and the difference between GIS maps and surveys. Then discuss how to use survey technology such as a GIS database or Google Earth.
10:01 Creating Condominiums: A Practical Guide
William A. "Will" Anderson III, Kennon Craver PLLC, Durham
Dive into all the details you never knew about creating condominiums — from assembling the team to sales and marketing, all the way through project closeout. Hear a few stories from the trenches along the way, as we use a project timeline as a guide to the process.
11:02 Break
11:12 Common Defects: How Did THAT Happen?
Lanée Borsman, Hutchins Law Firm, Fayetteville
Examine all of the common defects in title and get tips on how to cure them — from legal descriptions to the chain of title to notary acknowledgments and sidebars in between. Then reflect on statutes, new and old, as well as title case law. Review the common errors made and receive practical advice on how to clean up those mistakes.
12:13 Lunch Break
12:43 Working With Paralegals*
Maggie S. Davis, Mann McGibney & Jordan PLLC, Raleigh
Jim Duley Doerfler, Mann McGibney & Jordan PLLC, Raleigh
We all rely on paralegals to abstract and clear title. They increase our efficiency and make our business more profitable, but how can we create professional relationships that make us better lawyers? This session explores the relationship between real estate attorney and paralegal, answering questions about the correct level of supervision and who supervises whom.
2:14 Break
2:24 Hacking Into History: Race, History and Restrictive Covenants
Tia Hall, Yinsome Group LLC, Durham
Tim Stallmann, Research Action Design LLC, Durham
James Tabron, Durham County Register of Deeds, Durham
Andrew R. Wagner, Robinson Bradshaw, Chapel Hill
Race-based restriction language in covenants is no longer enforceable and its existence remains a reminder of discrimination for people of color. Walk through the public-private partnership being used by the Durham County Register of Deeds Office to identify homeowners' association covenants with a history of race-based restrictions and the active steps being taken to strike the language.
