Sorry, I did not get your other post before replying. I am in the UK so it is different for me. Maybe a retirement account is the answer? Or, email Jim to see if they have any ideas. He suggests 'That is to firmly ask if the broker holding these assets are certain that the depositories for the broker have provided your broker themselves with true custodial form' (Sorry about delay, lost my mobile connection).
My note to you got lost in transit.
