Eviction Process Guidance Steps
Summary
In North Carolina, to evict occupants, you need proof of ownership and must follow specific eviction procedures. If your name is on the deed and mortgage, it strengthens your case. After sending vacate papers, wait for a response, and if necessary, file an eviction lawsuit. Attend the court hearing with all relevant documents. Your brother-in-laws might claim tenancy or challenge ownership, but having worked with the lender and having documentation supports your position. If a sheriff tapes a notice to your door, it could be an eviction notice or a writ of possession. Always read such documents carefully.Full Conversation
