If the WV Will was "executed in accordance with NC law" which means in NC that the signing requirements were met (testator signed in front of 2 witnesses and all signatures notarized) then the WV Will can pass title to real property. If the Will wasn't executed in accordance with NC law (meaning the signing requirements weren't met per NC law) then it can only pass personal property.

Thus, to pass title to real property located in North Carolina, a foreign will must have been executed in accordance with the North Carolina law; 2 but a will executed in accordance with the law of the testator's domicile is sufficient to pass title to his personal property located within the state
