At worse, the lawyer(s) screwed up and you will get your money back, eventually. I'd make sure they knew I expected it to be with compound interest. You shouldn't be out any money and let the lawyer know he had better expedite the process and keep you informed every step of the way. I wouldn't be too nasty about it, but make sure he knows that you are willing to label it as malpractice and take the appropriate steps from there.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

If you paid the property tax & can show proof you fenced & cut the grass for the last 10 years, you may have squatters rights.

Please keep us updated on this chit show you got going on. Best of luck with it. I would be absolutely fuming, 14 acres or not
There is 2 different high fence. 1 small and one big! Mine was free range in the big pen and was not a breeder buck. Why does it have to be twisted around??

If you closed through a mortgage company you may have had an Insured Closing Protection Letter. It probably cost you or the seller $25 - $35 and it will be on your Closing Disclosure or HUD-Settlement statement. That ICL (or some call it a CPL) will insure over certain things, misuse of funds is definitely one but I think it also covers lien position. Seems your problem could be covered by This. If you got a copy of commitment or policy look for the contact info for the underwriter (First American, Old Republic whoever) and call them. If there are several of you that this has happened to that person will likely be prohibited from issuing further title commitments. If you paid for the insurance SOMEONE WILL MAKE YOU WHOLE. I might recognize the closing agents name if you want to pm me.

So the two sisters inherited the land, but never filed ownership at the Probate Office, so nobody knew that legally it was theirs. What kind of proof did the brother have that he owned the land? The land/estate did or didn't go thru probate? Surely the title company had some kind of proof.

How much land are we talking about here? Not that it matters, I'm just trying to figure out how many people need killing.
I can't believe in this day and time with all the technology available how something like this can happen. I didn't want to say this but Iam talking about 14 acres bought 5 years ago. which is still my lifes savings considering my family avereged 30k a yr. at the time. so its a pretty big deal to me even though its not 100's of k. yeah its real big. If it's measured in multiple acres it doesn't matter if it's 14 or 1400. I'd be so mad I wouldn't have been able to sleep last night. Good luck with this issue and let us know how it turns out.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Icl/cpl would likely only be demanded by a lender. Very unusual for a borrower/buyer to request one unfortunately. A copy of the closing statement showing charges and to whom they were paid would really answer a lot here.

I'm amazed no one has asked the standard Aldeer question yet: What do the sisters look like and do you have pictures? Someone on Aldeer will be willing to take one for the team for you if needed. 
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

The land/estate did or didn't go thru probate? Surely the title company had some kind of proof. This is what I've been wondering since the first post. Filed ownership, never heard of such. The estate goes through probate whether the deceased owner died testate or intestate. The administrator or executor of the estate, whichever the case may be, probates it. That's how it's transferred to the sisters. They can gain ownership and be in a cave 1/2 way around the world and not have to do anything themselves. They don't even have to know they have an interest in the property. That's what the title search is for, obviously the attorney didn't search very well, or more likely his assistant/secretary . However, he's on the hook for it.

"Why do you ask"?
Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.
