Dirt, We Like It (2023 Real Property Section Spring Program)
THURSDAY, MAY 18, 2023
5:00 Early Arrivals Reception
Turtle Point Clubhouse | 5:00–6:30 PM
Let the Real Property Section treat you to an early arrivals and welcome reception. Enjoy heavy appetizers and drinks as you mingle with fellow section members and their families. You are automatically registered for this event when you sign up for the CLE, but you do need to register your guests.
Christopher J. Waivers, White & Allen PA, New Bern
During this session, receive a primer for dealing with bankruptcy-related issues. A bankruptcy attorney walks through all the things that can mess with your title and closing, exploring common situations as well as providing useful anecdotes for your real estate practice.
A recent national landmark ABA study on attorney mental health is the first to ever bring into sharp focus, with hard data and real numbers, the impact alcohol/drug abuse and other mental health issues are having on this profession. The research indicated that lawyers have a high rate of substance abuse at approximately twice the rate of the general population, as well as high rates of depression and anxiety. This presentation seeks to improve the understanding of substance abuse, the dynamics of addiction, and the susceptibility of lawyers to this disorder. Learn about the neurological nature of substance abuse/addiction, including the development, symptomology, and impact on behavior, and receive suggestions for dealing with a substance use disorder.
11:20 Community Associations: Their Structure, Governance and How They Can Muddle Your Real Estate Transactions
Harmony W. Taylor, Law Firm Carolinas, Greensboro
Discuss community associations in North Carolina, from their structure to their governance through statutes and private contracts (covenants). Then dive into the nuances between voluntary and mandatory associations, and the pain points practitioners need to watch out for in transactions involving community associations. The dryness of this topic is offset by illustrative anecdotes from the memory bank of a jaded community association attorney who has seen it all.
