In 1921, 1031 exchanges were introduced. Since that time many significant tax law changes have taken place, the most significant being the Final Treasury Regulations of 1991, which defined the role of the Qualified Intermediary and streamlined the exchange process. Today, knowledgeable investors seek an experienced Qualified Intermediary to handle exchanges. The use of a Qualified Intermediary significantly reduces transactional stress by assuring the proper execution of required documentation. Qualified Intermediaries provide a vast array of options so that investors have access to the full power of exchanges.
Many investors are surprised to discover that the Qualified Intermediary industry is not nationally regulated. Consequently, the careful selection of the Qualified Intermediary is essential to ensure the highest levels of expertise and security of funds.
