Are you positive that the 1031 tax-deferred exchange forms your qualified intermediary is using are still current? In a reverse exchange, is your qualified intermediary treating the property as their own for taxation purposes? Do they contract with attorneys and CPAs who keep them abreast of developments in the Internal Revenue Service regulations? Does your qualified intermediary regularly read the Internal Revenue Code?

If you have answered "no" to any of the questions above, you are at severe risk of loss in the event of an audit of the exchanger. Your current qualified intermediary may not be the best person to handle your 1031 transaction.

Asset Preservation, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Stewart Information Services Corporation, is here to help you navigate your way through the maze of 1031 exchanges. API employs experienced exchange counselors and regularly works with attorneys and CPAs to keep current with new IRS rulings that affect exchanges. Their services are available to your customers at a fair and competitive price.

Why should you use API?

  1. Numbers equal experience, and API has completed over 50,000 delayed exchanges and over 1,000 reverse exchanges in its 11-year history.
  2. If the exchanger gets audited and loses as a result of errors made by your qualified intermediary, the exchanger will have to pay the capital gains taxes plus any applicable interest and penalties. Your qualified intermediary's Errors & Omissions insurance may not cover this mistake. Can your qualified intermediary afford to pay these costs? Probably not.
  3. There often may be facts in the transaction that disqualify you or your agency from acting as a qualified intermediary.
  4. Asset Preservation, Inc. will provide your exchanger (upon request) with a Letter of Assurance that the funds are securely backed by the financial strength and integrity of Stewart Title Guaranty Company.
