The Mendez household is worried about potential lawsuits. Mr. Mendez has 500,000 in his employer's 401(k) plan and200,000 in a Traditional IRA rolled over from a previous employer's plan.

If he files for bankruptcy in 2026, which of these assets receives unlimited protection?

  1. Only the $500,000 in the 401(k) plan.
  2. Both the 401(k) assets and the rollover IRA assets, including their earnings.
  3. Neither, because assets in a retirement plan are considered part of the bankruptcy estate.
  4. Only the assets that were contributed to the IRA within the last 12 months.
