Happy Spring from the Kaufman & Canoles ESOPs, Benefits & Compensation team!

On Monday, the Court of Appeals of Virginia issued a significant decision about private road easements often referred to as “Ryder” easements.

The Treasury Department announced that it will not enforce any penalties or fines associated with the beneficial ownership information reporting rule under the existing Corporate Transparency Act regulatory deadlines.  

The Court of Appeals of Virginia held that when a deed conveys “all that certain tract or parcel of land, consisting of a . . . right of way,” that right of way is conveyed in fee simple, not as an easement.
