[WSBARP] LLC transfer and real property - !% tax?

[Josh Grant]

Two brothers inherited from their parents.  Brother A received real property; Brother B and Brother A each received 1/7th interest in an LLC which holds only real property.

The two brothers wish to realign the property between themselves.

I assume when Brother A gives real property to Brother B because he is getting interests in an LLC in return, that the 1% tax needs to be paid (based on the assessed value of the land he is getting).

I think I saw a discussion here that when Brother B gives Brother A interests in the LLC that that also triggers the 1% tax, again based on the value of the land .

IF so how does one pay the tax?  Is there a special 1% form to be used when LLC membership percentages are being transferred in this situation.

thanks
