Thank you for joining us today.

Description

For clients with significant real estate portfolios in their estates, Section 1031 like-kind exchanges can be a very effective tool for deferring gain.

Recent tax legislation has scrambled familiar tax, economic, and practical considerations for making a like-kind exchange, in some circumstances making these techniques more attractive than before, but in others (incoming producing property) less attractive. There are also substantial real estate law traps in like-kind exchanges.

This program provides a practitioner's guide to using new like-kind exchange rules in trust and estate planning.
