Sometimes, particularly with some inherited or gifted property, determination of ownership requires an extensive examination of the public record and may have to be proven in court. This recent publication discusses the basics of how property is classified and how title (ownership) to
property is held, and the legal rights of disposition associated with that ownership.Learn More »

Identifying Emerald Ash Borer
Phenology models predict that adult emerald ash borers (EAB) are emerging or have emerged in regions across NC. In North Carolina, the EAB has one generation per year. Depending on seasonal weather, adult EAB emerge as early as April through mid-summer. They are short-lived (3-4 weeks), feeding on ash leaves before mating, laying eggs on tree bark, and dying. Eggs hatch about three weeks later and young larvae bore into the bark to begin feeding. Take a look at this video to determine whether your ash tree is infested.Learn More »
