Complex Structuring

Separating Co-Ownership Interests is critical. We are masters of what we call the “Partnership Divorce,” allowing co-owners to sell individually. As one of our most senior law partners says, “Breaking Up is Hard to Do!” But we can help you plan for a successful exchange, separating you from your partners, by using one of the following structures:

1) Drop and Swap – Partnership Redemption/Liquidation
2) Swap and Drop – Partnership Tracking Units
3) Partnership Divisions – Separating One Tax Partnership into Multiple
4) Tenancy in Common Structures – Undivided Fractional Ownership of Real Property
5) Delaware Statutory Trusts – Securitized Fractional Ownership Qualifying Under 1031

Forms of 1031 Exchanges

There are many different ways to complete a 1031 Exchange, and we can provide you with meaningful, competent advice as to each of these structures.

1) Simultaneous Exchanges
2) Traditional Forward Deferred Exchanges – Sell First
3) Reverse Exchanges – Buy First
4) Construction Exchanges – Build or Improve Your Replacement Property

Your funds are safe at Major National Banks and are held in secure Qualified Escrow Accounts

Our goal is to provide you with the highest level of security. Your funds will be held in a Qualified Escrow Account, subject to a contract with a Major National Bank as to how they can disburse your funds, and your written approval must be submitted directly to the Bank to remove funds (a process known as “dual signature escrow accounts”).

Industry Leading Security.

Major National Banks

We only bank with major US banks (e.g. Citi, HSBC, Barclays, Chase, Wells Fargo, US Bank, and Capital One). Many Qualified Intermediaries are subsidiaries of regional banks, which are subject to bank failures. By using only Major National Banks, we mitigate your risk to give you the confidence that your funds are safe throughout the entire exchange process.

Qualified Escrow Accounts

Every exchanger’s funds are distributed into a segregated bank account called a Qualified Escrow Account or “QEA.” Each client must provide written disbursement instructions to the bank to remove funds from the QEA. We can not remove your funds without your approval. And you can call the bank at anytime to verify the status of your funds on deposit.

Compliance with State Law

We comply with State Law in every state in which we do business, including meeting state insurance requirements.  In many states, Qualified Intermediaries are not regulated. States like California and Washington impose strict requirements on Qualified Intermediaries. Other states, like Texas, have no regulations!
