A rollover of retirement plan assets to an IRA is not your only option. You should carefully consider all available choices, which may include: keeping assets in your former employer’s plan, rolling assets to a new employer’s plan, taking a taxable distribution, or rolling to an IRA. Each option has advantages and disadvantages, including but not limited to differences in investment options, fees and expenses, withdrawal rights, creditor protections, required minimum distributions, and tax treatment. Before making a decision, please consider your specific circumstances and consult with the appropriate professionals.
