Have you found an escrow company yet? They have different 'mediators' that they work with regarding that. It just means that you are certifying that as soon as you sell your property, you are immediately going to turn around and buy something else, (another piece of real estate) so that you wont have to pay taxes (capitol gains) on the property you just sold! does that help a little?

Why would you not just do a 1031 Like Kind Exchange if your real estate is involuntarily converted?

First of all, a §1031 Like-Kind Exchange only applies to property used in a trade or business or held for investment purposes. Therefore, you cannot take advantage of §1031 if your home is involuntarily converted. Second, the rules under §1033 are much more flexible than the rules under §1031. For example, the sales proceeds in a §1031 Exchange must be held by a Qualified Intermediary such as the ES Group until they are used to purchase the replacement property. However, the property owner can hold their own funds in a §1033 Involuntary Conversion Exchange. Also, when dealing with property that is used in a trade or business, or held for investment purposes, the taxpayer has 3 years to purchase the replacement property instead of the 180 days one would have in a §1031 Like-Kind Exchange.
