What makes a property interest compensable in legal terms as it relates to a taking?

A property interest is compensable in legal terms as it relates to a taking if it meets the criteria established by the Fifth Amendment, which requires that just compensation be provided when private property is taken for public use. This typically includes interests that are legally recognized, such as fee simple ownership, leases, or easements. The property must have a recognizable value and the taking must significantly interfere with the owner's rights, effectively depriving them of the use or enjoyment of the property. In essence, compensability hinges on the nature of the property interest and the extent of the governmental action affecting it.

Does ownership of property being taken change a charge of burglary?

No. If you did not own, or have full legal acess to, the property at the time the offense was committed it amounts to a crime. Depending on the circumstances and the timeframe of your potentially taking full legal possession of the property, you might conceivably be able to plea the charge down to a lesser offense such as "trespass."


In Michigan if you are taking care of property adjacent to yours for 24 years do you have claim of adverse possession?

If you have been "taking care" of the property by agreement or permission you cannot make a claim of adverse possession. If you have been using the property continuously, openly and contrary to the rights of the owner then you may have a claim. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law in your area if you think you have a claim. You need to know how to perfect your claim under your state law.


What is the difference between mortgage and pledge?

The differences between a mortgage and a pledge:1. The Security in Mortgaged is an immovable property, while in a pledge it is a movable property.2. In a pledge the ownership of the pledged property remains with the debtor (the pledgor or borrower). In a mortgage, the ownership of the mortgaged property is transfered to the creditor (banker or mortgagee).3. Delivery of the property is essential to a pledge; hence the goods delivered by the pledgor or borrower will be in the custody of the banker. But, in a mortgage, the possession of the property will be with the borrower.4. In a pledge, the banker (pledgee) can sell the pledged property without the intervention of the Court. In a mortgage, except in English mortgage, a mortgagee can sell the property only with the permission of the Court.5. A pledgee does not have the right of foreclousure (i.e. cannot debar the pledgor or the borrower from taking or redeeming the pledged property). But, in a mortgage, a mortgagee (borrower) has the right of foreclousre, i.e., can debar the borrower from taking back the mortgaged property under certain circumstances.M.J.SUBRAMANYAM, XCHANGING, BANGALORE
