A year ago, my financial advisor of 25 years left Merrill Lynch and went to XXXX. He told me XXXX would not accept the transfer of my account because I resided in XXXX. Merrill kept the account and last month send me a letter saying they were closing it in 30 days ( actually 3 weeks from my receipt of the letter ). I sought an extension until XXXX XXXX and they concurred. The account includes my IRA, etc. I have spent the last month trying to find a bank where I could transfer the accounts. XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, etc. have all refused. I have no idea what to do with the IRA. I take minimum annual withdrawals. I am a US citizen, a retired senior XXXX. I vote in the US, pay US taxes and receive social security and a XXXX pension.
