1031 Exchange Strategies: Advanced Tax Deferral, DSTs, UPREITs, and Wealth Preservation

1031 Exchange Strategies: Advanced Tax Deferral, DSTs, UPREITs, and Wealth Preservation

, ,

Selling appreciated real estate is a major tax and financial decision. A standard sale can trigger federal long-term capital gains taxes, state income taxes, the 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax, and depreciation recapture. Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code allows property owners to defer these liabilities by reinvesting the proceeds in like-kind replacement property.
Beyond basic property swaps, advanced 1031 exchange strategies help real estate owners improve cash flow, diversify holdings, and build lasting wealth. By using Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), Section 721 UPREIT conversions, geographic arbitrage, and boot avoidance protocols, investors can move from active landlord duties into passive income streams. This guide outlines how to manage strict IRS timelines, address multi-owner LLC structures, and protect generational capital.

Equal vs. Equitable Distribution in Estate Planning: How to Divide Assets Among Heirs

When preparing an estate plan, many people assume the fairest approach is to divide assets equally among their heirs. In practice, family circumstances can make that decision more complicated.

This guide explains the difference between equal and equitable distribution and the factors you may want to consider when deciding how to divide your estate. You will learn how family structure, financial circumstances, sentimental property, communication, and tax planning can influence your decisions.
We will also introduce estate planning tools such as QTIP trusts, A-B trusts, lifetime gifting, and 1031 exchanges that may be relevant when planning for blended families, taxes, and long-term wealth transfers.
