[WSBARP] Excise Tax Question

[Inge Fordham]

If no consideration is changing hands (e.g., one party isn’t paying for the easement), there shouldn’t be excise tax due.

Subject: [WSBARP] Excise Tax Question
I’ve got a boundary dispute which the parties would like to resolve shy of initiating suit through an easement.  Is excise tax due on that easement or do I need to file the suit and get a judgment?  Has been a while since both parties agreed to an easement pre-litigation (which is good seems to me).

Thanks.
