401K used as collateral or security  Reply with quote  

Does anybody have any experience with issues surrounding the use of a 401K account as collateral for property division originally from divorce but years after a divorce is final. Not an issue with alimony, child support spousal support.

Issue surrounds note secured partially by 401K monies. Can a probate court defeat ERISA rules and coerce to you to sign over the account or create a QDRO?

Looks like you need to see a lawyer for advice.

You may be able to borrow your own money from a 401k at your current employer for limited puposes. But I cannot see how a 401k can be used as collateral for a 3rd party loan, since it is protected from creditors. Was there any QDRO for your 401k when your divorce was settled (and was it completely settled), or are survivors after more.

My sister lost her 401k and daughter's college fund to her ex, but she got the home fully paid for.

If you read your question "Does anybody have any experience with issues surrounding the use of a 401K account as collateral for property division originally from divorce but years after a divorce is final? Not an issue with alimony, child support spousal support. "

I'm telling you only a person in the law can correctly answer your question. Can a 401k plan be used as collateral, YES ,but

"For property division originally from divorce, but years after a divorce is final", for this part you are talking about not opinion, which money-talk is generally opinions about finance, not the law.

If you've seen divorce lawyers who cannot help you with this, then fire your laywer and find another one, because a financial board is not the place to ask these questions. If somebody here says "yes" what are you going to do differently? If somebody says "no" what are you going to do differently?

Collateral: Property acceptable as security for a loan or other obligation.
Most lends would allow your 401k as collateral

When it comes to security, United States is always on top of the list, aside from being a powerful nation they are also advance in terms of technology. However, there is some news comes out that the nation is facing lower security in relation to retirement and health care security. Source for this article: why not even learn more here?

I know this thread is a little old but allow me to post my thoughts. It depends on the 401(k) Plan document. I've never seem a plan document that allows a participant's plan balance to be pledged as collateral against a loan, unless that loan were made inside the plan. But then again, there may be individually designed plan documents that the IRS has accepted that do. - I've just never seen one.

Many plans permit loans inside the plan, but there are very specific regulations that govern those loans in terms of the amount, the duration, the amortization, and what happens in the event of default. Then in addition to those requirements, the plan sponsor (probably your employer) may have additional requirements that were incorporated into the plan document itself that deal with whether loans are even available to plan participants and under what circumstances or conditions loans may be used for.

Plan participant loans have a specific exemption under ERISA definition of a prohibited transaction. But just because ERISA permits loans, a plan sponsor is under no legal obligation to provide for them in their individual plan document. In fact, some plan sponsors purposefully do not allow plan loans because they do not believe plan loans are in the employee's best interest (using monies specifically intended for helping to meet the needs of the employee in their retirement years, instead of credit that could be obtained through customary lending sources). I'm not saying I agree or disagree with that that stance, it's just a position that some plan sponsors have taken.[/url]

For property division initially from separation, yet years after a separation is conclusive 650-752 dumps", for this part you are discussing not supposition 650-756 dumps, which cash talk is by and large feelings about fund 650-754 dumps, not the law.

Usually, some employers may allow early withdrawals or 401(k) loans when a participant is facing financial hardship. Since a 401(k) does not give the participant full control of the retirement money, a participant can't use the account as collateral for a loan.401k plans are considered "qualified" employer-sponsored retirement plans, meaning they are covered under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These plans, like other pension plans, receive substantial asset protection against creditors under federal law.Most lenders do not consider a 401(k) when calculating your debt-to-income ratio, hence the 401(k) loan may not affect your approval for a mortgage loan. However, the lender will deduct the outstanding 401(k) loan from your 401(k) balance to determine the net 401(k) assets.
