What Is Negligence And Misrepresentation Involving DSTs?

A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) is a real estate investment structure that allows investors to own fractional interests in income-producing properties, often as part of a Section 1031 exchange. Negligence involving a DST generally refers to allegations that a securities broker or financial advisor failed to exercise reasonable care when evaluating, recommending, or monitoring the investment. Misrepresentation may occur when important information about a DST's risks, fees, liquidity limitations, projected returns, or underlying properties is inaccurately described or omitted. Because DSTs can be complex investments, investors often rely on financial professionals to provide complete and accurate information before investing.
