Qualified Intermediaries: What to Ask

A due-diligence framework for selecting an exchange facilitator

A qualified intermediary is commonly used in a deferred exchange to facilitate transfers and help prevent constructive receipt of exchange funds. Investors should examine experience, funds-handling controls, banking arrangements, cyber-security practices, insurance, documentation, conflicts and escalation procedures. 1031.Exchange does not designate a firm as suitable for a specific transaction.

Professional use
