§389. Ex parte order; vesting of title
A. Upon presentation of the petition, the court shall issue an order directing that the
amount of the estimate be deposited in the registry of the court and declaring the property
described in the petition transferred to the city of Monroe at the time of deposit. Upon the
deposit of the estimate in the registry of the court for the benefit of the property owners, the
clerk of court shall issue a receipt showing the amount deposited, the date of the deposit, the
suit caption, and the description of the property contained in the petition.
B.(1) Upon the city of Monroe depositing the amount ordered by the court, title to
the property and property rights specified in the petition shall vest in the city of Monroe, and
the right to just and adequate compensation therefor shall vest in the property owners. Upon
vesting of title, the city of Monroe may enter upon and take possession of the property if
there are no inhabited improvements located upon the expropriated property.
(2) If any inhabited improvement is located wholly or partially upon the property
expropriated, the court may postpone the right of entry for up to thirty calendar days from
the date on which the last defendant was served with the notice; however, the city of Monroe
may request the court to order possession surrendered after a longer delay upon the court
fixing a reasonable rental to be paid to the governing authority by a defendant in possession
of the property for each day that the defendant remains in possession after the withdrawal of
any part of the deposited funds.
