We support you in the event of expropriation
Expropriation for public utility is always a delicate procedure. For those who are subject to it, it precipitates their real estate situation into instability; for the administrations, it is a matter of heavy, long and expensive administrative procedures. Our team will accompany you efficiently in this procedure.
For expropriation files for public utility, Lexing provides the following services, according to your needs:
- contesting the legality of the expropriation;
- contesting the validity of the expropriation project;
- challenging the legality of administrative expropriation orders;
- amicable negotiation of the amount of compensation due for expropriation; or,
- contesting – upwards – the amount of compensation proposed by the administration, when this is insufficient, through:
- representation before the courts and tribunals;
- follow-up of judicial expertise in the evaluation of the value of the expropriated property;
- litigation, pleadings and appeals.
