Eminent Domain Definition

Have you noticed that all of the definitions of eminent domain read the same?  Does that mean there is only one definition?  No, it means they’re all from one point of view and they’re not from a positive point of view unless you are planning to condemn property for a public project.

Here’s my definition of eminent domain from a positive point of view of a commercial property owner or business owner: Eminent domain is your right to government funds to help you continue to do business, as well or better, at a new location.

And from the point of view of a home owner: Eminent domain is your right to government funds to help you continue to live in harmony, as well or better, at a new location.

If you are facing eminent domain, start the process with a positive and proactive approach.  There are many positive opportunities within eminent domain, some will be obvious and others will be hidden waiting to be discovered.
