Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia
Deed
If Mr. A and Mr. B share a property line. Mr. B's building encroaches on the rear of Mr. A's property by 2 feet, and Mr. B gives Mr. A a section of property at the front of his property in exchange. A lawyer writes the exchange of property deed and both parties sign it. The deed states that ir is an exchange of property, but, the lawyer made a mistake and gave both portions of the property to Mr. A.
Is it still a legal deed? Has Mr. B lost his land as well as what should have been given to him in the exchange?

Re: Deed
Mr. B needs to go back to the attorney
who did the "bad deed" and have this attorney reform it to accurately reflect the conveyances which were supposed to have occurred involving the respective parties, and then have the reformed deed properly recorded.
