What Is Eminent Domain Law In Mississippi?
Eminent domain is the right of the government or a private entity to take your land away for a public purpose, such as to build a road or pipeline. The actual act of taking the land is known as condemnation. Though this definition is fairly straightforward, there are many cases of eminent domain that are not clear-cut. This is why hiring an eminent domain attorney in Mississippi is so crucial when you’re looking for fair treatment and just compensation for your land.
Eminent domain almost always comes as a shock to the person whose land is being taken; yet the condemnor may have been planning the taking for months or even years. Landowners must therefore act quickly once they receive an eminent domain notice and/or offer of compensation. Here’s what to do if you’re in this situation:
