Thanks. Were in PA. It is the state that is taking the land - I dont know if that counts as judicial but I expect it is since at some point in the process it had to have been legislated and supported by the judiciary. There are six neighbors impacted directly by this. The state will pay $4000 per property for legal representation, so Im trying to get the neighbors together and get a single attorney. We can probably get a good one for $24k without any out of pocket expense. Im actually lucky - I have one neighbor who will lose an inground pool! Thanks for your response.
Good luck and hope you and your neighbors can get the best.
The state has been thru this many times and has procedures
they will follow. There is a limit they will go to and if
they can’t get agreements it then becomes the condemnation
process. Don’t get in a hurry to sign, let it work thru the
process and then you can decide the route you’ll need to take.
