Property law entails laws that govern ownership, change of ownership whether temporal or permanent and use and limitations in property use. The law provides guidelines and mechanism for property ownership and property purchase , (Smith, 2009).
Bailment is where personal property’s custody, care and control are shifted from one person to another through an agreement called contract of bailment. The agreement is that only authority over the property is shifted and not ownership. The actual owner is called the bailor and the person getting authority over the property a baillee, (Smith, 2009). Depending on the contract agreement the baillee may shoulder any liabilities that may arise while the property is in his custody. At times the baillee is paid for custody of the property. The bailment contract should clearly show the type of bailment. Bailment is of different categories based on liabilities and rights of the parties involved. The three categories include bailment for mutual benefit, bailment for the baillee benefit and lastly bailment for the bailors benefit, (Smith, 2009).
Bailment is an everyday occurrence. For instances living the automobiles under custodian of the mechanic, living clothes with the laundry person, taking valuables for warehouse storage, loaning a vehicle to person, bonds left with a financier. At all this instances the receipt should include details of the bailment and the degree of bailment. For instance when loaning a vehicle to a person you should include whether the person is liable for any damage that may occurs while in possession of the vehicle.
Eminent domain is where by the government takes an individual land for state use or to give it to a private owner whose intentions are for the public but without any compensation for the land, (Smith, 2009).
I think as much as the land is being seized for public use or state use leaving

    Eminent Domain is the power of government to take private property for “public use”, which is found in the 5th amendment of the Constitution. Eminent Domain has a positive and negative impact when it comes to society and an individual’s life. It has many positive impacts when it comes to the society, eminent domain may bring new schools, roads, and buildings. I do believe that eminent domain should not be used in the taking of private property for commercial use. I support the idea of eminent domain when it comes to the use of public use but oppose of the idea when it comes to uses such as shopping malls and office buildings.…

    Eminent domain is used widely used today to try and overtake other people's property. This occurs when the government will try to buy the land from you to be able to build their own buildings. In addition, this also occurs with states and cities trying to make people give up their homes so they can build buildings that are so called, "needed" for the city. Eminent domain has set standards, is fundamentally wrong, and makes people stand up. First, the city has set standards of what is considered blighted and what allows them to be able to take someone's house.…

    The basic underlying philosophy for the doctrine of adverse possession is that historically land use has been favoured over disuse. The doctrine protects ownership by barring stale claims of non-occupiers and errors in the title records. The intention is not to "reward the diligent trespasser for his wrong nor to penalise the negligent and dormant owner for sleeping upon his rights..." .…

    • 3 Pages

    Eminent Domain is the government's right under the Fifth Amendment to acquire privately owned property for public use - to build a road, a school or a courthouse. Under eminent domain, the government buys your property, paying you what's determined to be fair market value. In recent years, there has been much debate over the appropriateness of eminent domain, and further its legality in specific instances. The government is allowed to seize personal property for private use if they can prove that doing it will serve what's called "the public good". There have been many cases brought up against the government in attempt to regulate the government's power in seizing private property. There is a political push for reform to the eminent domain laws, including the regulation of compensation, hold outs, relocation assistance, and more generally, minimizing the excessive taking of private land.…
