Welcome to

ERISA & IRA and 401k Rollover Website

This is an informational website designed to provide useful information on IRA, 401k, ERISA, and especially on 401k rollover, IRA rollover, and ERISA law and regulations.

We start by introducing the concept of 401k rollover and IRA rollover. Then we discussed various aspects of Self directed IRA, the type of IRA (individual retirement plan) that have in recent years gained much popularity with its ability to invest in real estate.

We spend a large portion of our ERISA, IRA, and 401k Rollover website discussing ERISA, ERISA law, Erisa rules, and other important facts concerning ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974). We also discuss Section 404c and its relationship with ERISA. Section 404c and its regulations permit responsibility for properly diversifying retirement accounts investments to be transferred to 401k participants. This helps to reduce liability for claims brought against retirement plans sponsors by participants for poorly performing funds in 401k retirement plans. We also mention 403b rules where appropriate.

Next we discuss 457 plans and NQDC as part of our efforts to provide many useful resources and information on ERISA, IRA Rollover and 401k Rollover website. Please use the navigation menus on the side to navigate the whole website. If you have any questions, please use our contact form. You can use the bookmark below to bookmark this page.
