Eminent Domain Defined

The term "eminent domain" refers to the right of a government to obtain private property for public use. In the United States, the government may seize property owned by an individual or business even without the consent of the property owner, but due process must be followed and the owner must be compensated. This is a unique and complex area of law that will be impacted by State and Federal legislation and case law; thus it is important to involve a lawyer who has experience with these particular matters.

Compensation, Your Rights and How a Lawyer Can Help

Though the government may take private property for public use, certain rules apply. The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects property owners from government seizure without just compensation. The Fourteenth Amendment protects property owners from condemnation without due process. Eminent domain laws in Nebraska are set forth in Chapter 76 of Article 7 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes, and these address the steps that the state must take when acquiring property, including how property is to be condemned and how property owners are to be compensated.

Eminent domain laws are complex and it is far too easy for a property owner to have his or her rights violated without the protection of an attorney. If you have received notice that your property may be seized for public use, make sure you act quickly to discuss the matter with a legal professional who is familiar with all laws that may apply. You deserve fair compensation if your property is to be taken and may even be able to protect your property from being acquired, depending on the circumstances.
