I disagree !

There are benefits of rolling it over into an IRA ! Most of these benefits are are for "your loved ones" who will inherit. Converting and IRA to a Roth IRA, while expensive, has even more benefits.

I have found this book, The Retirement Savings Time Bomb...and How to Defuse It, very easy to understand and very useful, especially on this topic.
