The Guam Retirement Plan Transfer Agreement serves as a legal contract between the transferring plan sponsor and the receiving plan sponsor, detailing the necessary steps and procedures to meet these requirements. There are different types of Guam Retirement Plan Transfer Agreements, each addressing specific aspects and scenarios: 1. Traditional to Traditional Transfer Agreement: This type of transfer agreement is used when an individual wishes to move funds from one traditional Guam retirement plan to another traditional Guam retirement plan. The agreement ensures that the transferred funds maintain their tax-deferred status and adhere to the IRS's contribution plan rules. 2. Traditional to Roth Transfer Agreement: In this case, the transfer agreement facilitates the movement of funds from a traditional Guam retirement plan to a Roth Guam retirement plan. This type of transfer involves converting taxable funds into tax-free Roth contributions, subject to applicable IRS regulations. 3. Roth to Roth Transfer Agreement: When transferring funds from one Roth Guam retirement plan to another Roth Guam retirement plan, the transfer agreement ensures that the transferred funds retain their tax-free status, meeting the IRS's guidelines for contribution plans. 4.
