Planning and drafting the deferred like-kind real estate exchange

Article Abstract:

Many taxpayers want to take advantage of IRC section 1031 like-kind real estate exchanges but are unable to make a simultaneous exchange and so need a deferred exchange agreement. Regulations section 1.103(k)-1 provisions, made final in Apr 1991, clarified the timing and procedural section 1031 compliance issues as well as solving planning and structuring problems. Though not all questions were resolved, the new provisions allow practitioners to manage deferred like-kind real estate exchanges with minimum confusion. A sample deferred exchange agreement is included.
