FAYETTEVILLE-- It's big, it's beautiful, but it's surrounded by controversy.

The Jubilee House now exists under the leadership of another organization.

"We're kind of confused about what took place," said Katherine Washington, an Interim board member.  

Washington thought she would be notified about a change in leadership, but she wasn't.

It wasn't until Sunday that Jubilee House founder Barbara Marshall sent a message out on social media telling followers that the house and its assets belonged to someone else.

Marshall's lawyer Allen Rogers contends this change in leadership didn't happen last weekend, though.

He says it actually happened a couple years ago, after extreme home makeover came to town and transformed this house.

"Who prepares to win the lottery? She starts out with a $50,000 building and all of a sudden, it's made a half a million dollar building," said Rogers.  

Marshall couldn't maintain the newly renovated home.

"If this was a non-profit that had no asset, I don't think the Secretary of State would have hesitated a year ago to dissolve it," said Rogers.

Rumors flew that Marshall misused that money.

"No, there is no evidence that Barbara Marshall used any funds inappropriately," said Rogers.  

"When we found out we all tried to reach out to Dr. Barbara Marshall and ask her, 'how can we help you?'" said Washington.  

Washington and a few other volunteers stepped up to help Marshall, and more importantly, the women in the Jubilee House.

"I’m concerned about the woman veteran in the state of North Carolina,” said Washington.  

But now, after being kept in the dark about the transition of assets, Washington wonders if Marshall shares that same concern.
