how to find out if Roth IRA's are protected from creditors in my state

[Guest tonys]

I need to know if Roth IRA's are protected from creditors in North Carolina. How can I find out?

Here's a couple of ideas for you to try.

1. Check the North Carolina statutes regarding bankruptcy. They may be on the state's website.

2. Consult with a local attorney on the matter. Or, if you can get a bankruptcy judge to return your call, ask him/her.

Good Luck!!

Try the Investment Company Institute site. They have by state information on IRA creditor protection. I believe it includes Roth IRAs, too. The site is ici.org
