A 1031 exchange is a tax strategy that lets you swap investment or business-use property for like-kind property while deferring capital gains taxes under IRS rules.
Core elements include like-kind property, a qualified intermediary to handle funds, timely identification of replacement properties, and strict deadlines that govern the transaction.
This glossary defines common terms used in 1031 exchanges and explains how they apply to your transaction.

A 1031 exchange is a tax-deferment strategy that allows you to swap investment property for like-kind property. A successful exchange requires careful planning, identification of replacement property, and the use of a qualified intermediary to hold funds.
Like-kind property must be similar in nature or use for the purpose of the exchange, and property types should align with IRS guidance. Investors should assess property attributes and potential replacements early in planning.
A Qualified Intermediary is an independent party who facilitates the exchange by holding sale proceeds and coordinating necessary documentation. Choosing a reputable intermediary helps protect your interests.
Yes, there are timing requirements that must be followed, including identification and the completion window. Missing deadlines can jeopardize tax deferral and trigger taxes.
Fees for transactional support, intermediary services, and legal guidance vary. We provide transparent quotes and explain what is included in each step.
Debt on the relinquished property does not automatically prevent a 1031 exchange, but it can affect the structure and timing. A careful plan will address mortgage considerations with your intermediary and lender.
Yes, you may own the replacement property, but the exchange requires the property to be held within the exchange structure and properly documented.
The timeline varies with the complexity of the transaction, but most exchanges progress over several weeks to months. We can provide a clearer estimate after reviewing your property details.
Having legal guidance can help ensure compliance with IRS rules, identify risks, and manage documentation. We offer practical support to navigate the process.
