Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts
I sold my home 6 months ago and was just recently contacted by the law office who drew up my deed. The deed is incorrect, there is information missing, my property consisted of 2 parcels of land, the deed references both parcels but is missing the description of the boundaries of the 2nd parcel. The pgs in the Book referenced are also incorrect.
The law office wants me to come in and sign a new corrected deed, is something I need to worry about, should I just go in and sign this document? What options do I have?

Go sign the deed, if you delivered an incorrect deed under the terms of sale, you can be sued to deliver a correct deed and could be held liable for any expenses incurred by the Buyer.
It will be cheaper and you promised the Seller good title to the property and he does not have it.
