Have been reading ,am new to site, Thank you for valuable info,.
My question is:
I own a kennel in Michigan and the county wants an easement,which will effect my business.
I was told by county official that the county could take my property if they wanted it (emminent Domain?)for the good of the county and city .
I am not interested in selling a "portion" of my property (whole front yard ).
Was told by a friend familiar with this site to get a land patent,that this would make it harder for county to take my property. Can any one help in this matter?
Sorry for long post just need info.....
I don't want to "piece " my property full of easements,If they want it buy it all.....basically was threatened w emminent domain.(sp)
Thanks for any and all help in this matter.
