401K Plan Protection - Chapter 7
Posted: Wed Jan 27, 2016 11:49 am
In order to make the transaction to the individual spouse they had spouse open a 401k under his name and then placed the wife's 401k into a traditional IRA under the new 401k. So, technically, the 401k was transformed into a traditional IRA under a 401k account to make it work. Still good

I have a potential client who received his wife's 401k retirement (employer based not personal investment) in their divorce settlement via a QDRO. I need to know if the the transfer from the retiree to the (ex) spouse would be a sufficient basis for the trustee to claim its no longer exempt and, axiomatically, be unprotected in a Ch. 7 bankruptcy.
