Before you start, we recommend having a photo ID, beneficiary information, credit card, and a current retirement plan statement on hand.

Open Account

Fund

Fund Your Account

Once your new Self Directed IRA, HSA, or Solo 401k account is open, there are a few options for funding the account.

IRA Transfer

Complete the IRA to IRA Transfer Form

Please note certain trustees will need your original signature. These forms will need to be mailed to our office.

If your IRA is invested in stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, contact the current trustee to liquidate/sell the current holdings. Let us know when this is complete, so we can then start the transfer process for you.

Wait for the funds to arrive. Please note that the transfer process varies with each trustee, and some will take longer than others. Please allow 1-3 weeks.

Previous Employer Plans; 401k, 403b, 457b, 503, TSP Rollover

Contact your 401k administrator. The trustee will accept instructions only from the account owner (you).

If your old 401k is invested in stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, contact the current trustee to liquidate/sell the current holdings.

Wait for the funds to arrive. Please note that the transfer process varies with each company, and some will take longer than others. Please allow 2-3 weeks.
