Re: Eminant domain
I do not think that you have correctly stated your question. The theory of eminent domain has to do with a situation where a government has the right to take private property for a public use upon fair compensation to the owner. Perhaps you are really interested in the concept of a"prescriptive easement" which is akin to adverse possession. In any event, if you would like a free telephone consultation you may call me at 314-727-2822. I will need some more complete information from you and I may need to do a modest amount of research, but I believe that I will be able to answer whatever question you actually have.
