I Can't Finish My 1031 Exchange. Can I Have My Funds Now?
1031 Exchange transactions are not 100 percent reliable; they will indeed fail on occasion. If this happens to an Investor for any reason - failure to identify or acquire like-kind replacement properties, or any other reason - Section 1.1031 of the Department of the Treasury Regulations offers Safe Harbor provisions that will allow a 1031 Exchange to not be rendered invalid by the IRS, provided said Safe Harbor provisions.
The Qualified Intermediary in any 1031 Exchange must be sure to adhere to any and all aspects that pertain to the successful completion of the 1031 Exchange; however, if all aspects and regulations of a 1031 Exchange are followed completely and the transaction is still unsuccessful, an Investor who wisely elect to structure a 1031 Exchange transaction under Safe Harbor provisions, they also "elect" to comply with the limitations of such a transaction. However, if an Investor does not adhere to Safe Harbor provisions, a failed 1031 Exchange can be more expensive to the Investor than if they sold their relinquished property outright and paid the capital gains tax.
