Why you should have title insurance Who pays for what Fees in Escrow Direct deeding is useful You will want to consider direct deeding if you are planning to switch property under a 1031 tax deferred exchange. With this method you will be able to take out the middle man and save some time and money. When you choose this course of action you the buyer will have the property deeded to you directly by the seller. It was in the very early 90's that the old way of using sequential deeding was dismissed. Since then direct deeding has been the way that is used. This is a tax deferred tax transaction that is easy to carry out. It also lessens the risks when you have one less person involved in the transaction. This middle person could be at risk for many different things while they are holding the title. You will only have to pay half as many fees with direct deeding as well which is always a plus. When you are using direct deeding you need to make sure to do things the right way. For instance if for any reason you want to use an intermediary you need to make sure that this intermediary is qualified. This person will need to have an agreement with both the seller and the buyer for the transfer of the property. You will have to notify the other party of your intentions if you are going to be using an intermediary. Generally these intermediaries are somehow connected to the closing company or the title company. They should be able to handle much more than this transaction, they will be able to help you with your closing and your escrow services at the least. It can be wise to use an intermediary they can help you lessen any dangers involved with this transaction. They can reduce the tax liabilities as well as shield you from   unnecessary liabilities. Before you take part in direct deeding you need to be sure that you understand the tax regulations of your state. This will help you to learn how to identify your replacement property as well as how to go through with your exchange.
