Attorney refusing 1031 two days before closing

[Owen Boller]

As title suggests, attorney is refusing to help me with a 1031 exchange. I’ve chosen a property I want to buy which is like kind, and atty refusing to assist citing its “not enough time for the exchange company”. Couldn’t we just push closing back, or what actually has to be done before the closing that would take so much time?

Your post appears to be leaving out details.

Why would an attorney prevent you from doing something because they are speculating what another company can or can not do?  I suspect they don't want to change all their docs.
