    401k
    My husband has a 401K plan with a company that is doing very well in the stock market. The company is selling this particular property in Western NY. The new owner does not offer a 401K plan. What are our options with the money in the 401K? I know we can roll it into a Roth IRA but I was wondering if we need to do anything. I would love to keep the money invested in the stocks that we currently own. Thanks for any help.

    You can roll it into an IRA and keep your money in the same stocks, mutual funds, or whatever - that they're in now.

    You can do it yourself (at fidelity.com for one) but I'm one who prefers to have a broker handle things for me. There's no charge to handle the transfer (a good broker will get a small percentage of your total annually, though) so unless you feel real confident with wading through the formalities (basically paperwork), then start shopping around for a good broker.

    Thank you so much for the info. We are so confused and no one was giving us answers. It will be a while before the new owner takes over so we have some time to get a broker.
