Delaware Statutory Trust-A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) is a legally recognized real estate investment trust (REIT) in which investors can purchase fractional ownership in property as beneficiaries of the trust.
Internal Revenue Ruling 2004-86 declared that DST’s are like-kind and therefore qualify as 1031 exchange property. A 1031 exchange allows real estate investors to swap one investment for another and defer capital gains taxes.
Ownership of real property as a beneficiary of the DST offers investors the same benefits and risks as direct ownership without the management responsibility since a trustee is appointed to manage the property on behalf of the investors. Since the IRS has declared ownership of real property via a Delaware Statutory Trust to be like kind property for purposes of 1031 exchange, a much broader and diverse selection of investment property is now available.
