I did not go to closing, I did not sign anything for closing and nor was there any closing papers sent to me. to sign.
Because of the above my son became 50% owner of my property in North Carolina. I had informed the attorney that I did not want my son’s name on the deed. When the Attorney called me 3 days before settlement he said Mr. Larrick I need you to wire the funds for closing. That is all he said to me. I said don’t I get to see any closing and did you get the work that I did want my son’s name on the deed. His comment: Mr. Larrick, everything is the way you want it. When I ask him why I had not received any closing papers his comment again was everything is the way you want.

I think you need to see another North Carolina attorney, and quickly. One place that you can look for qualified lawyers is our website, http://attorneypages.com
For a reliable opinion on what you need to do next, to correct what's happened, your attorney will need all the facts. It isn't entirely clear to me how this ended up this way. I'm not at all sure how a closing took place without your signatures, unless you had previously given a power of attorney to your son, and never revoked that power of attorney in writing. There is obviously a lot more to this story than you could fit in the question.
