Legal Question in Investment Law in California

Administering a 401(k) plan means following many complex rules, some of which is or should be in the hands of a third-party administrator, and some of which is left up to the employer, or requires the employer's approval. Therefore, an outside attorney cannot give an answer to a one-line question on this subject. There would be some circumstances under which a release would be proper, and others in which is clearly is not. I would turn first to the appointed third-party administrator for an explanation.
