in november 2000 i bought a house in chicopee, massachusetts. later on i received the dated and recorded warranty deed which stated i had two parcels. the first parcel was the house i bought and the second was a piece of land in a different city about ten miles away from the house i bought. this piece of land also has a house on it. the attorneys did not recognize the error. can i keep the second parcel or be compensated for the error, being that both sellers and the lawyer signed the deed?

Yes, you can as far as expenses incured.

what kind of expenses do you mean? closing costs that have already been paid or maybe my damaged truck from going to talk to the lawyer?? i haven't gotten a straight answer from anyone.

You cannot keep the parcel that you did not buy and the party that messed up is responsible to correct the deed and pay for whatever expenses you paid ie. real property taxes, closing costs etc. Your damaged truck is not in the equation.
