As much as we’re enjoying the arrival of fall, we can’t shake the feeling that the end of the year is sneaking up on us. Now is a great time to begin those projects that we know there won’t be time for during the holiday season.

If you have clients that could benefit from an IMQ, getting started this month rather than waiting until 2024 will put them ahead of the game. Schedule a consultation to learn how an In Marriage QDRO® can help your clients – it may be the solution you’ve been looking for.

When your client proceeds with In Marriage QDRO®, we know it's for a reason. When the process is successfully completed, we celebrate with you that they are a step closer to their goals. Reviews like the one below remind us that this is a beneficial service that people are searching for - be the one to lead them to it!

"When I was unable to locate an attorney in my home state of Alabama with the experience in executing an in-marriage QDRO, I contacted IMQ. After speaking with Jennifer and Marcus, I was confident that their team would be able to fully execute the process since IMQ offered a money back guarantee which no other firm would. I want to thank IMQ and their entire team for facilitating the QDRO process and making it as smooth as possible."

We’re more than halfway through 2023 already, and if we haven’t had a chance to work with you yet this year, we hope that changes soon!

Just as we continue to learn of new financial strategies that an In Marriage QDRO® can make possible, we continually learn of changes in the law which make some states more IMQ friendly. Just recently we learned that Ohio law regarding post-nuptial agreements has changed, which we expect will streamline the process for Ohio clients going forward.

If you’re just learning about the concept of the In Marriage QDRO®, or if it’s been a while and you find yourself with clients who may benefit from an IMQ, we’d love to hear from you. Use the Calendly link to schedule a call and catch up with us!

When a pension plan is terminated, the employees are immediately 100% vested and are eligible for a lump sum distribution. However, a company may freeze a plan for years before deciding to terminate it. Some plans that are critically underfunded may be transferred to the PBGC (Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation). In both of these situations, the In Marriage QDRO® should be considered.

Do your clients complain about taking unwanted required minimum distributions (RMDs)?

Our process, the In Marriage QDRO®, allows your client to delay RMDs by transferring any portion of a 401(k) to a younger spouse.

There are many other ways an IMQ may be beneficial. Visit our website, https://inmarriageqdro.com, or schedule a free 15-minute consultation by clicking the Calendly link below.

An in-service distribution can be a valuable tool for planning a client’s financial situation. However, there are limitations to in-service distributions.

What if...

-Your client’s plan does not allow in-service distributions (30% of plans do not)?
-Your client is under 59 ½ years old and wants to liquidate the funds without incurring the 10% withdrawal fee?
-Your client wants to access more than the plan's amount limitations?

In these cases, we suggest that you consider the In Marriage QDRO® (IMQ).

-An IMQ can be performed with any qualified retirement plan.
-All married clients, at any age, can use the IMQ to liquidate funds without the 10% penalty.
-An IMQ can be used to transfer all vested interest in a 401k (not just the employee contributions).

When your client’s situation falls outside of what an in-service distribution can accommodate, an In-Marriage QDRO® can be a valuable (and possibly the only) alternative. Check out our website or schedule a free consultation to learn more about how the IMQ can be utilized for the benefit of your clients and your practice.
