This is a very tangled-up situation.  You need a good lawyer to untangle it for you, and one place to locate a qualified attorney near you is our website, http://attorneypages.com

A lot is going to depend on how all the factual confusion I see here gets resolved, it's going to depend on how the one lot got separated from the other two.

Without knowing more, I'd think you would want to add the third lot to the two you are buying, as the full deal would be worth quite a bit more.
