Assuming your transfer was totally successful, I don't think so.
Check and re-check if everything is okay on the new iPad, then start creating a backup of that new device on a regular basis.
Also, do not forget to perform this procedure on the old iPad, before returning it for your trade in:--> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
