The word expropriation refers to dispossessions of a legal nature carried out by a State regarding the assets belonging to a specific individual or entity; Either for reasons of public utility or others, and that is usually paid to it. The dictionary of the Spanish Royal Academy offers two possible meanings for the term expropriation, among which one of them refers to the action and the effect of expropriation; the other is used, generally in the plural, to describe that object, territory, good or expropriated property. This power of attorney is executed by the government of a country or a third party with the purpose of obtaining some property that many times can be without the consent or authorization of the legitimate owner.
It is important to note that a property is repeatedly expropriated for its better use or exploitation by the State or a third party, carried out as an excuse for a social interest or for public utility, which is almost always provided in the laws of a country However, this does not mean that the authorities that carry out the expropriations do not commit abuses during the execution of this process, which would mean a virolent expropriation or in a compulsive manner driven by political or ideological motives.; of which there are many examples throughout history, but one in particular is that of the Cuban Revolution, which in the 1960s, property was expropriated from US citizens residing in that territory and ended relations with that country.
In the field of law, you can find compulsory expropriation, which is that act through which the administration for reasons of public benefit, deprives the domain of certain assets from their legitimate owner for a prior payment of their price.
