What is a 'Title' and what is a title insurance company? ( Back to Top )
A Title is a valid claim to ownership of real property, evidenced by deed, certificate of title, or bill of sale. A lender will extend
mortgage financing to a buyer only if the seller holds uncontested ownership of the property in question. Most states treat a
mortgage as a lien against the title held by the lender, or mortgagee.
A Title Insurance Company is a firm that verifies ownership of real property, often done in connection with a conveyance of
real property from seller to buyer. The valid owner is determined through a thorough examination of property records in a
Title Search. The company issues a title certificate, based on its examination.

What are 1031 Like-Kind Exchanges? ( Back to Top )
A �Like Kind Exchange� under Internal Revenue Code �1031 can be used by a seller of real property to defer, and in some cases
avoid, the payment of income taxes that would be currently due if the sale resulted in a gain for the seller. A seller is normally
obligated to report as income any gain derived from the sale of real property in the tax year that the sale was completed. �1031
makes an exception to this requirement. In general, �1031 provides that no gain or loss is recognized where real property that was
held for business use or for investment purposes is exchanged for like kind property.
Exchanges under �1031 are common, but they are also complex and difficult. A primary reason for the difficulty is that it is rare for a
seller to find a buyer who has qualified real property to exchange or, for that matter, who even wishes to be involved in any manner
with an exchange under �1031. The most common method of avoiding this problem is through the use of qualified intermediaries
in the manner described in IRS regulation 1.1031 (k)-1(g)(4).
National Granite, through its wholly owned subsidiary National Granite 1031 Services, Inc., can serve as a qualified intermediary
and can assist you in completing the exchange. Click here to go to National Granite's 1031 section or call toll-free 888-GET-1031.
