Yes, you can sell a property in a 1031 exchange and have the replacement property end up in a trust. In fact, you should. Your trust sits at the base of the Trifecta: it owns your LLCs, your business interests, and your home. Whether the property lands in an LLC owned by the trust or directly into the trust itself, both are completely legitimate.
And here’s the bigger issue—half of Americans don’t even have a will. That’s why probate courts and lawyers are a multibillion-dollar industry. A properly funded trust avoids probate entirely, protects your assets, and keeps your plan private.
Bottom line: Get a trust, fund it, and yes—continue doing 1031 exchanges within that structure.
