Fund handling

QI page: client funds are held in segregated accounts by nationally chartered banks; QI role includes safeguarding sales proceeds with an escrow account specifically for each 1031 exchange; FEA-member paragraph also mentions qualified escrow accounts for client funds. Banks are not named. Dual-signature / QEA taxpayer-consent language is not on the pages cited. Homepage: QI deposits proceeds in a special escrow account.

Who it is for

Illinois QI for exchangers who want Directrust, LLC — public brand Directrust 1031 Exchange Services — to hold proceeds in segregated accounts at unnamed nationally chartered banks, with a company FEA-member claim. Office: 3833 E Main St, Unit 2131, Saint Charles, IL 60174. Phone 1-877-975-1031. Fax 1-877-975-0487. Email exchange@directrust1031.co. Homepage: Directrust, LLC is in compliance with all applicable state regulatory requirements — no license numbers on the pages opened. Reverse, improvement, CES®, bond dollars, and DST are not on those pages.

Verdict

Saint Charles QI with a usable custody sentence: segregated accounts at nationally chartered banks and an escrow account per exchange, plus a company FEA-member claim and a qualitative fidelity-bond plus E&O line that “meets all state requirements.” That is enough to list. Bond and E&O dollars, named banks, dual-signature wires, CES® holders, reverse/improvement, a fee card, state license numbers, and DST are not on the pages opened. Ask for today’s certificates, the live account title, and who can release the wire before a large transfer.

Notes

This is a QI custody file, not a securities offering. The homepage legal line is Directrust, LLC. The public brand is Directrust 1031 Exchange Services. Confirm the named party on the exchange agreement. Directrust, LLC is the intermediary that would hold exchange proceeds. A Delaware statutory trust is typically a securities offering sold by a sponsor and registered representatives — a different product. The pages opened for this file do not publish a DST desk.

QI page: as a member of the Federation of Exchange Accommodators, Directrust strives for higher standards, including qualified escrow accounts for client funds and minimum bond and insurance requirements. That is a company FEA claim.

Same page: client funds are held in segregated accounts by nationally chartered banks; the QI safeguards sales proceeds with an escrow account specifically for each 1031 exchange. Homepage: the QI receives proceeds and deposits them in a special escrow account. Banks are not named. Dual-signature / QEA wire control is not on the pages cited.

QI page: the fidelity bond and errors-and-omissions coverage provided by Directrust meet all state requirements and best practices. Homepage repeats fidelity bonding and E&O insurance coverage. No dollar amounts. Do not invent any.

Homepage: Directrust, LLC is in compliance with all applicable state regulatory requirements. No state or license number is printed, so stateRegistrations stays empty.

CES® names, reverse, improvement, a fee card, and DST are not on the homepage or QI page opened 2026-09-16.

Ask Directrust, LLC for today’s bond and E&O certificates, the live bank and account title, whether a second signature is required to move funds, and who can release the wire — then read those papers, not this summary.
