A big problem I see is people exchanging trying to use their attorney or real estate broker to hold the funds.With a few exceptions all of these are considered disqualified parties:A close family member or a controlled corporation,partnership,or trust.OREmployee,attorney accountant,investment banker or broker,real estate agent or broker.If you use these people you can get disqualified from the exchange and create a taxable event.You have to use a proper QI or years later you can get a nice surprise from the IRS.Some clients have asked me and I tell them they need to place the funds and the whole process with a proper QI.No legal advice
