The Internal Revenue Code imposes taxes when property is sold or transferred and a gain is realized. According to Section 1031 of the tax code, if a taxpayer adheres to strict code guidelines, then all or a portion of the gains from the disposition of business or investment property can be deferred or reinvested into a new replacement property. These deferred gains, as well as the gains from the new property, are not taxed until the new property is transferred and fails to qualify for tax deferral.
To qualify for tax deferment, the taxpayer must structure the transaction as an exchange of one property for another of "like kind". Since 1921, tax-deferred or “1031” exchanges have evolved from a simple but restrictive two-party swap to today’s highly strategic and sophisticated exchanges. Now possible for taxpayers large or small, 1031 exchanges can only be facilitated with the guidance and specialized services of a Qualified Intermediary, like LandAmerica 1031 Exchange Services.
LandAmerica established its 1031 Exchange Services Division in 1990 solely to facilitate tax-deferred exchanges. To ensure our best possible service to the taxpayer, LandAmerica offices that specialize in 1031 Exchange Services have passed a LandAmerica certification standard.
