Can I cash out retirement once transferred to me from a qualified retirement plan instead of setting up a separate account?
Depending on the terms of the retirement plan and the QDRO, you may have the option to cash out some or all of the retirement funds transferred to you. However, this option is subject to the plan’s specific rules and may have tax implications, although you may be able to avoid the early withdrawal penalties if you are under the age of 59½. Consulting with a financial advisor can help determine the best option for your circumstances and ensure compliance with tax laws.
