I sold 15 acres of land. After the agreement was final and all the papers were signed and I recieved the money the new owners had the land surveyed and found that the property line was off and there was a dump site on the property. They are saying that I have to pay to have it removed. I had signed in the paper work to the best of my knowledge that there wasn't any debris on the property. Am I responsible?

 

Optional Information:
palisade, Minnesota

Already Tried:
I have talked with Edina realty who sold it.

Hi,

If there was no fraud or misrepresentation on your part, and the buyers cannot prove same, they should have had a survey and a title insurance policy to insure the metes and bounds of the parcel before the closing. Had they done that, they would have discovered the discrepancy. You have no liability at this time because contract rights of a buyer are extingushed by delivery and acceptance of the deed at closing barring fraud or misrepresentation.
