In the event you as a business owner or homeowner or even a residential tenant are forced to move due to a government buyout, you are eligible for relocation expenses.

These expenses may include the following top ten relocation payments.

1. Move costs of your property
2. Search costs & expenses for a new place to move.
3. Re-connection costs for your personal property & equipment.
4. Closing costs relating to the new property
5. Storage costs

A prominent eminent domain attorney told me years ago he had been settling relocation claims for clients & leaving large sums on the table. He said after he saw us make large business and homeowner relocation claims for his clients.

The bottom line is relocation claims are based on the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). They are complex & read like tax code. 

If you own property & you have a drainage ditch on it you are subject to certain laws & rights that are very important. Ditch authorities Courts dealing with ditches & property owners rights have a way of ignoring your rights. This often means high damages & costs to the property owner.

In one case in Sibley County, the Schnitker Law Office represented a couple who bought a rural 10 acre property. The property had a nice home & they were quite happy till one day the county shoveled up & tore up & destroyed over an acre of their farm grove. They asked many questions & were told to "get over it".
