What Does Negligence Relating To DSTs Mean?
Negligence involving DSTs (Delaware Statutory Trusts) suggests that the broker failed to uphold a standard of care when recommending or managing DST investments. DSTs are real estate investment vehicles often used in 1031 exchanges, but they can carry significant risks, including market volatility, lack of liquidity, and complex structures. If a broker recommends DSTs without properly assessing a client’s financial profile or risk tolerance, or fails to disclose crucial details, they may be accused of negligence.
