# How do I register for the Online Portal?

**Accessing Your Account Through IRA Central**

When you open an account with **American Estate & Trust (AET)**, you are automatically registered for access to the Online Portal. This portal, available at **aetrust.com**, allows you to manage your **Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA)** account, view transactions, and submit investment requests.

### **First-Time Login Process**

**Login Credentials** – When setting up your account, you will create your own username and password.  
*(Note: Previously, usernames were randomly assigned, but all Account Holders now choose their own.)*

**Email Verification** – Before you can log in, you must verify your email address. AET will send a verification email to the address provided during account setup. Follow the instructions in the email to complete verification.

**Log In** – Once your email is verified, you can access your account using your chosen username and password at **aetrust.com**.

### **Resetting Your Password**

If you forget your password, you can reset it by:

- Clicking the **"Forgot Password?"** link on the login page and following the prompts.
- Contacting **AET Support** to request a password reset link.

### **Troubleshooting Login Issues**

If you experience difficulties logging in, please ensure:

- Your email has been verified.
- You are using the correct username and password.
- You clear your browser cache or try a different browser.

If issues persist, contact AET Support via:

📞 **Phone:** 800-454-2649  
📧 **Email:** support@aetrust.com

### **Switching View Between Accounts**

If you have more than one account open on the AET platform, you can switch the account you are viewing by clicking the drop-down menu located at the top right of the screen. Click the drop-down menu and choose the account you wish to view from the list. 

### **Important Note on Portal Access After Account Closure**

Account Holders should be aware that once the account is closed, **online portal access will no longer be available**. If you need copies of any past account documents, such as:

✅ Account statements  
✅ Investment documents  
✅ Transaction records

Be sure to **download and save these documents before the account is closed**. Once the account is closed, AET will no longer provide portal access to retrieve these records.

For any post-closure inquiries regarding past transactions, please contact AET Support directly.
