Why this matters

One hidden title-chain issue can put your 1031 exchange at risk.

Florida real estate investors often use trusts for privacy, asset protection, and estate planning. But when it is time to sell and exchange, the trust structure becomes one of the first things a qualified intermediary will ask about.

The key question is whether the same taxpayer is selling the relinquished property and acquiring the replacement property.

What you’ll uncover

A simple diagnostic for trust-held property and 1031 readiness.

Use the guide to identify potential gaps before they show up at closing.

15-Question Diagnostic Spot possible problems in your title chain, trust structure, LLC ownership, or exchange paperwork.
Same-Taxpayer Framework Understand why trust transparency, tax classification, and title consistency matter.
Gap Risk Rating See whether your structure appears clean, has meaningful gaps, or may create substantial exchange exposure.
