Molly R. Kiser
PRACTICE OVERVIEW
Molly R. Kiser is licensed to practice law in Virginia and North Carolina. Her principal areas of practice include real property and creditor’s rights/default servicing. She especially enjoys helping her clients overcome the obstacles that would otherwise keep them from the closing table, such as by clearing various title issues, and has carved out something of a niche practice for assisting those who have inherited real property subject to a reverse mortgage, for domesticating foreign judgments, and for representing local investors and hard money lenders in foreclosure proceedings.
EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION
While she has spent the majority of her professional career here at SBAL, Molly began her legal career as a law clerk with another local real estate firm where she first obtained her CRESPA certification as a Virginia registered real estate settlement agent. While pursuing her legal education, she earned a position as a legal intern for the Newport News Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office in Newport News, Virginia where she honed her trial and legal writing skills. Prior to that, she served as a judicial intern for the Portsmouth General District Court in Portsmouth, Virginia.
OUTSIDE OF THE OFFICE
Molly grew up in the Palm Springs area of Southern California but chose to make Virginia her home after she moved there for college and fell in love with its history, traditions, landscapes, and people. One such person was her husband, Jeff, an estate planning attorney she met during their first days of law school. They live in Smithfield, Virginia and spend most of their time enjoying family and friends, taking scenic drives, eating delicious food, listening to music, reading, and watching Dodger baseball.
