Step 1

See the main choices

Start with the big decision: leave it where it is, move it to an IRA, or connect it to an income plan later if that fits.

Step 2

Rule out obvious problems

Look for taxes, timing issues, fees, and plan features that could make a quick move the wrong move.

Step 3

Talk through the fit

Once the basics are clear, we review your situation and talk through the details that matter.

  • Use an IRA as the next step or keep plan features you still need.

What Our Team Reviews Personally

We focus on the details after contact.

  • Transfer method, paperwork flow, and avoidable tax mistakes.
  • Liquidity needs, beneficiary setup, and timing.
  • Whether an income product belongs in the plan at all.

What trips people up

  • Moving money before understanding what the current plan still does well.
  • Letting taxes, fees, or beneficiary details become an afterthought.
  • Assuming every rollover needs the same solution.

Questions to sort out first

  • You still need a plan feature you would give up by moving the money.
  • You are close to using the funds and have not sorted out liquidity.
  • You have tax questions that should be reviewed before anything moves.

Questions people usually ask first

What is the safest way to move an old 401(k)?

Usually a direct rollover, but we review the details before money moves.

Can I roll a 401(k) into an annuity directly?

Sometimes the first step is an IRA review. The right path depends on your goals, liquidity, and overall fit.

Will I owe taxes on a rollover?

Not usually on a direct rollover, but cash-outs and indirect moves can create taxes or penalties.

How long does a rollover usually take?

Anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the plan and paperwork.
