My dad had an account w Edward Jones. He passed away. I received a call from them about The inheritance from that. The guy was saying he needs to open up an account for me so he can give me my portion.
Is that true? Sounds like a way for him to keep making money. I already have retirement account with another company. Can’t I have it sent there? Or just have a check cut to me directly?

My wife mother passed away and she had a small account with EJ. I believe it is her old 401k.
There are 3 beneficiaries listed to be split. We do not want to keep the money with Edward Jones and we have vanguard, trowe etc. Edward jones is telling us that we have to open a new account with them to transfer the money out. Is that true or they just trying to milk us out with the money by charging closing account fee and or hope we will invest with them?
Could they just mail us a check?
The plan was to deposit the money in my wife vanguard account or her fidelity account which will waive the transfer fee from EJ.

When my siblings and I inherited an IRA we each had to open an "Inherited IRA" account in our own name in order for the funds to be disbursed from the decedent's IRA. Once the money was in each of our own "Inherited IRA" accounts, we were free to transfer it anywhere we wanted as each individual saw fit.
ETA: My experience was with Vanguard.
It is true. You open an account to put the funds into your name then immediately can transfer them out to the new institution. This happens with a variety of companies.
You also don't have to cash out the account. They can divide and see about transferring in kind to the new account/institution.
