Although every effort is made to acquire each property by negotiations, often condemnation proceedings may be required to complete the acquisition of those properties, which cannot be negotiated and/or otherwise secured due to the quality of title. SRLS has an attorney and other experienced personnel to assist in all phases of condemnation support. SRLS can provide the Client with assistance by filing any and all condemnations, appointment of commissioners, filing jury demands (if necessary) and obtaining legal rights of entry required for this project.
The condemnation assistance services provided in this regard include:
- Preparation and filing of all legal documents for the procurement of any and all necessary Rights of Way.
- Appointment of commissioners and coordination of the property inspections to ensure timely commissioner award deposits and legal right of entry.
- Provide all documentation necessary in file format to assigned legal counsel for eminent domain proceedings.
- Make sound settlement recommendations to the Client, when necessary.
- Preparation of complete parcel file, including the title report, legal description, document of conveyance, agents log and all correspondence.
- Serve as a liaison with Client or other agency personnel on matters related to condemnation.
