Eminent Domain and Relocation Benefits
If you are an eminent domain attorney you will have the daunting responsibility of preparing and managing the assignments and schedules of consultants
What is Eminent Domain? & What are Relocation Benefits?
Eminent domain is the term given to the inherent power of the state (meaning any public agency) to seize a citizen’s private property, without the owner’s consent. In most cases, the government agency will condemn the property and purchase right-of-way to use it for a public project for the “greater good.”
Martyn has developed business relocation plans and provided feasibility studies, cost-to-cure estimates, replacement cost estimates, and expert witness Relocation benefits mainly refer to cost reimbursements by the public agency when eminent domain is in use for certain relocation categories spelled out in the relocation guidelines. When federal funds are included in the project or state laws require it, relocation benefits must be paid to those considered a displaced person.testimony and other litigation support for hundreds of businesses both locally and across the country.
Eligible Business Relocation Benefits
I have prepared an abbreviated cheat sheet for your use of the eligible business relocation benefits provided on federally funded projects or those that follow the Uniform Relocation Act. Ask about the top categories that are the most underutilized and which compile the highest amounts of eligible reimbursable costs, frequently in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and as high as $35 million in a single relocation case
Understanding the Uniform Relocation Act
The federal relocation guidelines are known as PART 24—UNIFORM RELOCATION ASSISTANCE AND REAL PROPERTY ACQUISITION FOR FEDERAL AND FEDERALLY-ASSISTED PROGRAMS, often abbreviated as The Uniform Act.
Why You Need an Expert
For property owners and businesses, eminent domain can be a complex process. If you receive a Notice of Intent to Acquire, it is important to understand that the government is not necessarily looking out for your best interests. To get a fair and equitable compensation for your land and relocation of your business, you will benefit from finding an expert who can uncover the true value of your property improvements or business relocation.
