1. “Although this Court has recognized that making specific findings of fact related to a trial court’s jurisdiction under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 50A-201(a)(l) would be the better practice, the statute states only that certain circumstances must exist, not that the court specifically make findings to that effect. Therefore, so long as the trial court asserts its jurisdiction and there is evidence to satisfy the statutory requirements, the trial court has properly exercised subject matter jurisdiction.”
