    • This aspect of the new rule will be challenged in court, Reish and others, including Ed Slott of Ed Slott & Co., predict.
      • As Slott told me, “Yes, it’s a single rollover, but it also may be the single largest financial transaction a client has ever made — it’s their life savings on that advisor doing what’s in their best interest. And it often doesn’t happen again.”
      • Slott agreed that the single recommendation requirement will likely spark a lawsuit and that “it’s overregulation and it hurts the advisors that are doing the right thing already.” That being said, “financial advisors should be doing this anyway with such a large financial move the client is making,” Slott continued. “Often this rollover amount is larger than the purchase of their home.”
      • Labor, Slott has said, “is putting rollover advice right up there with investment advice.”
