On acquisition, unless the decree otherwise provides, (1) that unit'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, and (2) the portion of the allocated interests divested from the partially acquired unit are automatically reallocated to that unit and to the remaining units in proportion to the respective allocated interests of those units before the taking, with the partially-acquired unit participating in the reallocation on the basis of its reduced allocated interests.(c) If part of the common elements is acquired by eminent domain, the award shall compensate the unit owners affected by the taking for the reduction in value of the units resulting from the acquisition, and the portion of the award attributable to the common elements taken shall be paid to the association. Unless the declaration provides otherwise, any portion of the award attributable to the acquisition of a limited common element shall be equally divided among the owners of the units to which that limited common element was allocated at the time of acquisition.(d) The court decree shall be recorded in every town in which any portion of the common interest community is located.(P.A. 83-474, S. 7, 96; P.A. 05-288, S. 165.)History: P.A. 05-288 made technical changes in Subsec.
