Like-kind Exchanges in Real Estate Transactions WEBINAR

Overview

Please join us for a discussion on like-kind exchanges (LKE), known as one of the last great tax legal shelters available to those buying and selling real property. We cover the basic structure of a LKE, and ways a taxpayer can utilize qualified third-party intermediaries (QI), and tenancy-in-common structures including Delaware Statutory Trusts (DST). We also explore creative solutions to sticky situations a taxpayer may find itself in obtaining replacement property.

Highlights

Like-kind exchanges have been hailed as one of the few legal tax shelters still available for real property investments, but it is really a result of favored tax policy. These relatively straight-forward concepts can help a company significantly improve cash flow by deferring its tax liability. These concepts will be illustrated by real-life examples that present a novel approach to like-kind exchanges as a useful and practical tax-planning idea.
