14mo. after the purchase of 10 acres (next to our home which is also on 10 acres). The title company is threatening to sue us because the original owner inadvertently gave us 100% of split rights. (Which now prohibits him from splitting his remaining 70 acres). There is no documentation stating that we agreed to give up all split rights. We assumed (just like our deed to the house) that we would retain split rights.) We have stated that we want 2 splits (on the advice of the township assessor and our attorney). My questions are: How can the title co. (who is ultimately responsible for this document), sue us for costs, damages, etc. when it is their fault. (They admit that it's their fault, but because the orig. owner is going to sue them, they are going to sue us? Is this just a bluff to scare us into changing the warranty deed? Who can we trust in this matter, when we can't seem to get a definite answer to our questions?
