    How Does An IST Work

    An IST works in three simple steps.

    The buyer and seller agree to terms and conditions, which then opens to escrow

    Once in escrow, the business or property is transferred from the seller to the IST

    At the close of escrow, the buyer pays the trust for the business or property assets and the asset is then transferred to the buyer.

    Now, proceeds for the transactions are in the trust and are “tax-deferred.”
