Unless the funds were placed in a separate not-ownership account, of a irrevocable trust, then, yes. Contact me direcly for some options.
Re: C corp lawsuit and pension fund protection
Corporate pension funds are normally in a separately-administered irrevocable trust, and cannot be tapped by the corporation's creditors. It is possible that some corporations have unwisely, and probably illegally, left money that should be in a pension fund commingled with other corporate funds, or continue to park the funds where they are still available for the corporation to use for other purposes at its whim. Such funds could be gone after successfully by judgment creditors.
