Eminent Domain/Condemnation Cases

Eminent domain refers to the government's power to acquire private property for public use, such as building roads, schools, or parks. When this happens, the property owner is entitled to just compensation for their property. Condemnation is the legal process through which the government exercises this power. In real estate litigation, disputes may arise over the valuation of the property, the necessity of the acquisition, and whether it truly serves the public interest. Property owners have the right to challenge these decisions in court, ensuring their rights and compensation are fairly considered.
