Identify the source and destination
Record the exact account types and institutions involved. Eligibility depends on the distribution and receiving arrangement. Do not assume that every account balance is eligible to move.
Confirm the method
Direct and indirect movements create different responsibilities. Obtain current instructions before initiating the movement, especially when funds may be paid to you personally.
Keep the full record
Retain instructions, confirmations, statements, and applicable tax reporting. Ask the relevant professional to resolve any mismatch between the paperwork and the transaction.
