I have my ESOP statements and I never touched it, and the company I once work for can't seem to find my ESOP now there saying after 1999 they went to the 401k retirement plan and now they are custodial with E-trade although the store I worked at the HR is still doing some investingateing on trying to find where it's at now, I wish I knew who they were custodial with in 1979.

Thank you ESOP Guy, I'm really glad about the infomation that you relayed to me I will definitely try back at lowe's HR and work twords getting the SPD frist. And also in light of reading everyone's blog's it might also be wise of me to have or contact an ERISA attorney for further guidance. again thank you.

I have esop through lowe's my last date of employment was 4/29/1998 over 10 years now I have my statements and I will be 59.5 years of age in November and I would like to cash out, currently lowe's do not handle the ESOP plan any more and went with the 401k plan partners of WELLS Fargo Bank do I go to them or is there another direction?
