Eminent Domain Attorneys
Overview
Eminent domain involves the government’s ability to force the sale of private property. Eminent domain has two mandatory requirements that must be met in order for the transaction to be valid. First, the private property being purchased must be intended for public use. Second, the owner of said private property must receive due compensation from the government. In an eminent domain action, the government must offer relocation assistance to any person or business in order to minimize cost and hardships resulting from the forced sale of private property.
