Working on Behalf of Municipalities and Property Owners
Streets, schools, sewer lines and other utilities are all necessary for towns and cities to continue to grow and provide services. What happens when it is your property that is being condemned and taken in the name of progress? How does the government balance its needs against the rights of the property owner?
At the Eldridge Law Firm in Wilmington, NC, we have extensive experience in municipal and land use/planning law, and can be of assistance, to both municipalities and property owners, on eminent domain and inverse condemnation issues.
Wilmington Eminent Domain Attorney Dedicated to Obtaining the Full Value for Your Land
As a property owner, there are several things you should know about the eminent domain process. First: It is a process in which your land, home or building must be properly valued since you are entitled to be fairly compensated for your property. Second: If you feel that your property has been undervalued, then you have the right to go to court and seek the proper amount of compensation. You may also question if your land is being condemned or taken for a legitimate public use, which is an important requirement. North Carolina eminent domain attorney James Eldridge has extensive experience in land use and valuation issues, and can be of assistance with:
- Drafting easement agreements
- Dedication and acceptance of private streets
- Abandonment and closing of public roads
- Obtaining title to the "dirt" under a relocated and closed roadway
- Property valuation/appraisal
- Lost value in remaining land
- Inverse condemnation
We can also provide these same services to municipalities seeking to condemn property for legitimate public uses.
