(a) General rule.--If a unit is acquired by eminent domain or if part of a unit is acquired by eminent domain leaving the proprietary lessee with a remnant which may not practically or lawfully be used for any purpose permitted by the declaration, the award must include compensation to the proprietary lessee for the value of his cooperative interest. Upon acquisition of all of a unit by eminent domain, unless the decree otherwise provides, that cooperative interest's allocated interests are automatically reallocated to the remaining cooperative interests in proportion to the respective allocated interests of those cooperative interests before the taking, and the association shall promptly prepare, execute and record an amendment to the declaration reflecting the reallocations. Any remnant of a unit remaining after part of a unit is taken under this subsection is thereafter a common element.

(b) Acquisition of part of a unit.--Except as provided in subsection (a), if part of a unit is acquired by eminent domain, the award must compensate the proprietary lessee for the reduction in value of his cooperative interest. Upon acquisition, unless the decree otherwise provides:

(1) That cooperative interest's allocated interests are reduced in proportion to the reduction in the size of the unit or on any other basis specified in the declaration.

(2) The portion of the allocated interests divested from the cooperative interest of which the partially acquired unit is a part are automatically reallocated to that cooperative interest and the remaining units in proportion to the respective allocated interests of those cooperative interests before the taking, with the cooperative interest of which the partially acquired unit is a part participating in the reallocation on the basis of its reduced allocated interests.

(c) Acquisition of part of common elements.--If part of the common elements is acquired by eminent domain, the portion of the award attributable to the common elements taken must be paid to the association. Unless the declaration provides otherwise, any portion of the award attributable to the acquisition of a limited common element must be equally divided among the proprietary lessees of the units to which that limited common element was allocated at the time of acquisition.

(d) Recording court decree.--The court decree shall be recorded in every county in which any portion of the cooperative is located.
