The Retirement Picture

Retirement Savings Are Easy to Lose Track Of

A career spread across employers leaves retirement money scattered across plans and providers. Heirloom cross-references billions of records to pull scattered accounts back into one place.

Employer-Sponsored Plans

401(k), 403(b), 457, and other workplace plans from current and former employers, including plans the family never knew existed.

IRAs & Rollovers

Traditional, Roth, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs, plus balances rolled over from old workplace plans that scattered across providers over a career.

Pensions & Annuities

Defined-benefit pensions and annuity contracts, including unpaid or unclaimed benefits still owed to the estate or its heirs.

Old & Forgotten Accounts

Retirement accounts left behind at former jobs are among the most commonly lost assets. Heirloom traces them back to the decedent, even without any paperwork.

Beneficiary Designations

Retirement accounts often pass by beneficiary designation outside probate. Surfacing them early tells your team what transfers directly and what enters the estate.

Escheated & Dormant Balances

Accounts that went dormant and escheated to the state, surfaced by searching unclaimed property programs nationwide.

My team is giddy about the system. [We] love it! There’s a sense of excitement to be working with Heirloom.

Retirement accounts populate over the first few weeks as Heirloom verifies balances across institutions, so your team can plan rollovers and distributions with confidence.

Retirement accounts are only the start. The same intake can also surface real estate, bank and investment accounts, life insurance, business holdings, unclaimed property, and other liabilities, feeding one shared estate inventory.
