Q: I recently purchased 10 acres, now the surveyor is telling me that it is probably 3 or so. What legal rights do I have?
The purchase was 10+/- acres. Looked at the property with the realtor and looked at pictures and information they gave me. Purchased the property, received the deed, and started the survey and the survey shows about 3.5 this was 2 plots, now just 1. What do I do? What are my legal rights?
A:
It depends how you acquired title by way of what type of a deed?
Did you do a title search prior to closing? It does not sound like it. That means you acquired the property through a quitclaim deed. You may have claims against both the seller and the realtor.
Good luck
