Q: How can I stop the sell of Property that was supposed to signed over to me. Not sure if INC. or persons name
There was an agreement between one owner (president of Inc.) to sign property over after I sold property and gave them funds from sell to invest in the Inc.
A:
North Carolina General Statute § 22-2. Contract for sale of land; leases.
All contracts to sell or convey any lands, ... or any interest in or concerning them, ... shall be void unless said contract, or some memorandum or note thereof, be put in writing and signed by the party to be charged therewith, or by some other person by him thereto lawfully authorized.
Is that agreement in writing signed by the president or a representative of the company? Contact an attorney in the county where the property is located. That attorney will be able to tell you if filing suit or filing a notice of lis pendens is appropriate to stop the sale of property in which you have an interest. I do not recommend that you do this without the assistance of an attorney, if you improperly file a notice of lis pendens, you could open yourself up to a lawsuit for slander of title, also called “title disparagement of property” or “injurious falsehood.”
