Some states, like California, view certain objects as fixtures that are conveyed with the property.

Conveyance of Title does seem to open up the Buyer to a large amount of risk. 

The Qualified Intermediary must "acquire" the replacement property and then convey the replacement property to you in order to properly integrate the property into your 1031 Exchange. 

In Texas, washer and dryer do not convey with the sale.  

I wouldn't go to the trouble of an installment contract for 1 month and legal title isn't conveyed.

You'll obviously need an assignment form that will convey your interest in the property to the end buyer.

Those interested can read the basics in my blog, "Let's Play Tic, Tac, Toe".Options don't have to be scary, but they have changed and you need to do some catch up understanding what interests are conveyed, terms that must be met to avoid treatment as an installment sale, how everyone must account for the option, predatory issues and financing requirements.

We've found these work a little better as they are a bit lengthier in text, can convey more feeling (especially with a death in the family), and are more targeted.

The resulting county web site for my transaction shows $0 as the sale price because it is owner occupied, it is exempt and there was no conveyance fee and no mortgage.
