It should be pretty easy...determine who your next broker is going to be..say Ameritrade or ETrade or whomever...and as you set up your account complete the forms required and they will have all your assets tranferred to your new account. Sure they will require some additional forms and such...but they do this all the time and with accounts from LEH they may even have a special system in place. It really shouldn't be hard and is probably a good idea. BEWARE: Experinece has shown, due to the different systems at each Co, the history of your holdings, like the original cost, buy/sell dates, etc does not come over. Only the ctual stock/bond, etc position. Hence unless you have/make a record of this to inout into your new account system, the new account will not know this (and can't show your actual gain/loss - or provide it for you when you sell).
