LIKE-KIND EXCHANGES


Wachovia Exchange Services (WES), a department of Wachovia, has a dedicated staff of professionals focused entirely on providing qualified intermediary services for Section 1031 tax-deferred exchanges.

Under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, investment or business property owners may exchange real or personal property currently held for investment or productive use in a trade or business for comparable “like-kind” property, deferring the capital gains tax until the replacement property is ultimately sold.

Advantages of Choosing Wachovia as Your Qualified Intermediary:

Security of 1031 Proceeds
Wachovia Bank, NA, is one of the largest financial institutions in the United States and, as such, WES is able to offer direct financial services to the taxpayer. For each deferred exchange, Wachovia Bank, NA acts as qualified intermediary and opens a segregated Wachovia Bank, NA account. This account is FDIC insured.

Knowledge
WES professionals have extensive knowledge of Internal Revenue Code Section 1031. Our library of resources can provide taxpayers and their advisors with important information regarding their particular situation. WES assists clients in developing strategic planning solutions while alerting them to applicable issues related to their exchange.

Commitment to Service
WES brings expertise, insight and professionalism to the exchange process, providing every customer unmatched service. Based on strength, stability and a strong commitment to customer service, Wachovia has become the qualified intermediary of choice for individuals, REITS and corporations.
