If the contract shows the correct legal description but also shows seller is conveying 2.11 acres, and that has not been amended, I think you have a reasonable argument.

However, deeds in lieu of foreclosure can be subject to judicial attack by their grantors and their grantors' creditors.Grounds for attacks on deeds in lieu of foreclosure include the following:• That the deed was an equitable mortgage - that the parties intended the deed to be given as security for a debt and that the deed was not an absolute conveyance.• That the deed is either a preferential or fraudulent transaction within the purview of the provisions of the federal Bankruptcy Act or any other related state law.• That the deed is a device to clog a mortgagor's right of redemption.• Unfairness of the consideration.• Coercion, fraud, oppression, duress, and undue influence.• That the deed is not subsequent to the execution of the mortgage but contemporaneous with it.• That the grantor/mortgagor was insolvent at the time of the execution of the deed.An estoppel affidavit (executed and acknowledged by the grantor/mortgagor, attesting to the fairness of the transaction, the consideration exchanged, the value of the property, and other factors showing an intention to make a genuine transfer) or a recital (inserted directly in the deed) are supporting documents used to forestall challenges to these transactions.State law and local title standards must be consulted in regard to the consideration and treatment of deeds in lieu of foreclosure.What a GREAT post!

Those will convey the idea you are trying to show.I wouldn't rule out the family pics.

I can't convey our conversation much better than you already have. 

This approach conveys your respect and appreciation while making it clear that your decision isn’t personal—it’s practical.

I challenge you to find anything that overrides the protections on unpermitted units conveyed by these state regulations.  

He didn't even do an assumption here...with an assumption the lender knows the property is being conveyed and the new buyer is assuming the existing mortgage which is a lot less risky for both the buyer and the seller.
