COURT-HELD MONEY

Condemnation Awards

When private property is acquired through eminent domain, compensation may be deposited into the registry of a Virginia circuit court while questions regarding ownership, liens, title, or competing interests are resolved.

Although the government may have deposited the compensation, determining who is legally entitled to receive those funds may require court proceedings.
