NC Supreme Court to Rule on Unfair Property Taking by NC DOT
The biggest landowner-related legal issue right now is the case called Kirby v. North Carolina Department of Transportation (NC DOT). The decision will affect property owners across all of North Carolina, not only the plaintiff in the case.

Again, this can go on for decades. Families who have grown old in a home on property designated for future development cannot easily sell that home to downsize for retirement—their homes will have lost a large chunk of equity.
Henson Fuerst Attorneys is at the forefront of fighting this unfair law, and we were proud to see our co-counsel on several of our Map Act cases, Matthew Bryant (supported by his partner Tim Nerhood), argue for our side at the NC Supreme Court a few weeks ago. This is very exciting for us, and we have every expectation that the court’s ruling will finally provide justice for our clients whose property has been “inversely condemned” by the State of North Carolina.
For Henson Fuerst land lawyers David Henson and Anne Duvoisin, attending an argument like this is as good as it gets! We’ll report again when the NC Supreme Court makes its decision.
We are representing clients across the state, including (but not limited to), Wilmington, Hampstead, Greenville, and Shelby.
