What type of deed was conveyed with the sale? The deed was supposed to be free and clear off all liens. I just looked at the closing statement and the lawyer that I closed with charged $185 for an abstract title search and $125 for the insurance. should I go after the seller or closing lawyer first, if things don't pan out. What type deed is it? Not what is it suppose to do, what type deed. Warranty deed, quick claim, what? Do you have a copy of the deed? warranty deed

that is good.
Will the sisters not sign a quitclaim? What do you mean when they 'want to see the money'?

Why in the world would they "give" you land they own if they haven't received a dime for it

Holly shucks. THE CLOSING ATTORNEY COMMITTED MALPRACTICE. It is his fault. The seller may have committed fraud. But the lawyer is at fault. It doesn't matter if it was a mistake or intentional. Sue the seller and the attorney. The attorney has E&O so you should go after him and that source of funds. It's malpractice like others said so get his E& O insurance money before someone else files a claim and the insurance cancels his policy. You better hurry.

Why in the world would they "give" you land they own if they haven't received a dime for it the way I see it they need to keep that fight in their family. I paid good money for the land, and they wouldn't be "giving" me anything. maybe the lawyer that messed up will pay them to keep from being sued. my plan was to give him a chance to make it right.

I went to sell my land and found that the guy that sold it to me did not own it, his sisters did. the sisters wont sighn anything till they see money. I thought, no problem I have title insurance, but I found that when I bought the title insurance at closing the lawyer never sent the money to the title company. I went to see the closing lawyer that made this mistake, and they said that they will fix it for me and the 3 other buyers it happened to. my question is how long should I wait for them to fix it. and what other options do I have. If the guy sold you land that he didn't own it was never your land to sell.

The way this is written, the 2 sisters still own the land. The "seller" had no interest to convey. MAYBE....MAYBE depending on lots of things, you could claim adverse possession if you paid taxes, used it as your own, etc. But that's taking from those two women who surely will make it ugly. In my opinion I would be wanting my money back all inclusive. I've had to do that a couple of times but that was before the closing. Did you not read the title search? I always do if for nothing else they have interesting info history on that land.

I don't see anything to do except sue the lawyer and recoup the money spent. Ain't nobody going to be interested in buying into that convoluted mess,no matter what the lawyer that screw it up is telling you. You need to get your money out of him ASAP before he has it protected if it ain't too late even now.

I wonder if you will be able to find a lawyer that will actually sue another lawyer?

You go after the person your new lawyer tells you to, and whatever else he tells you to do. This is the best advice you will get on here. This situation is enough of a can of worms that you would be a dummy to try to straighten it out yourself.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Can you not press criminal charges against the guy that sold you the property? It may convince him to give you your money back or sweet talk the sisters

Hard to get an attorney to go after another. There are several lawyers that I know that handle legal malpractice cases. I can refer you to one if you would like to speak to one. Send me a PM.

Lawyer up and sue, sue , sue. Not only money but your reputation is on the line. You essentially are trying to do the same as the brother has done. Sell somebody else's land. If those sisters tell you to stay off that land and you go back out there you are tresspassing.
Messy family dynamics. It wont be very surprising if it found out the brother and the lawyer are good buddies from way back. It possible you aren't the first person this has happened to with this piece of land.

Hard to get an attorney to go after another. Malpractice isn't always a disbarment. You only get disbarred for intentional acts. If it is a mistake, it can be malpractice but not an issue for the bar to discipline someone.
