Are these allowable 1031 Closing Costs

[Leo B.]

I'm in the middle of purchasing replacement property as part of a 1031 exchange and am trying to get some clarification on allowable closing costs that can be paid by the 1031 proceeds. My 1031 company sent me a list of allowable expenses but it doesn't list some of the line items that are showing up on my estimated HUD statement. Are the items below allowable 1031 expenses?

• Title commitment fee
• Title examination fee
• Deed preparation

Here's a breakdown of what is and isn't permissible, but your specific line items aren't mentioned, so I wouldn't be absolutely sure where they fall. My understanding is that costs associated with title research and deed filing are permissible, but this is really a question for the experts! @Bill Exeter @Dave Foster, thoughts?
