Eminent Domain
What Should I Do if I Think My Land is Going to be Taken?
Eminent Domain, or land condemnation, is the right of the government to take your land if your property is needed for a public project, or even adjacent to land needed for a public project. While the laws around land condemnation mean that you cannot say “no” if you are informed that your land is needed, the 5th Amendment of the US Constitution limits the government’s rights by providing that a property cannot “be taken for public use, without just compensation”. While in very few cases, the taking of the land itself can be challenged as not specifically for public use, in most cases, the legal battle is about ensuring that you receive just compensation for your land. Eminent domain is a complicated field of law, each and every case is different. If you have been contacted by a land agent, you need an attorney on your side that knows exactly what it looks like to be successful in your case.
