Eminent Domain Action for Real Estate Acquisition in Madison County

This action concerns a Complaint for Appropriation of Real Estate filed by the State of Indiana in the Madison Circuit Court, Cause Number 48C06-2510-PL-000131. The lawsuit aims to acquire specific parcels of real estate in Madison County, Indiana, through eminent domain. The legal descriptions of the affected properties are detailed in Exhibit A, with specific parcels identified as 6, 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D. These parcels are located within the Northeast quarter of Section 21, Township 18 North, Range 7 East, and involve land previously described in Instrument No. 2012R013760. The acquisition is related to right-of-way lines for State Road 67 and US Highway 36, as depicted in attached plats. The descriptions include precise metes and bounds, acreage calculations, and reference to existing right-of-way. The Indiana Attorney General's office, represented by Jeffrey L. Simnick, is handling the legal proceedings. Parties with an interest in the real estate are notified to respond within 30 days of the third publication of notice, or default judgment may be entered, potentially terminating their interest in the property. The descriptions were prepared by licensed surveyors Rodney J. Kelly and Brian M. Stanoch for the Indiana Department of Transportation.
