The use of social media is pervasive throughout our society. With that pervasiveness spring novel considerations beginning the moment one enters litigation. This is especially true given the ease with which information contained in social media may be altered or deleted entirely.

“Entity transfers” are often used in commercial real estate transactions for the tax benefits they can confer on the parties to the transaction. In the typical “entity transfer” arrangement, title to real property being sold is first transferred from the current owner to a newly organized subsidiary entity, and then ownership of the subsidiary entity, rather than the title to the real property, is sold to the purchaser. These types of “entity transfers” have recently been targeted by the Ohio County Auditor’s Association.
