Advisors' Compliance Policies & Procedures

Summary of policies that have been updated since January 1, 2025:

Death of a Client

This policy outlines the procedure for managing a client's account after their death to protect their assets and ensure a proper transition.

  • Immediate Restriction: Upon learning of a client's death, all associated accounts are immediately frozen.

  • Halt on Activity: While frozen, no transactions—including trades, distributions, or fee payments—are permitted.

  • Verification of Authority: The restriction remains in place until legal documentation is provided that officially establishes who is authorized to act on behalf of the estate.

  • Resuming Activity: Once the proper authority is verified and all legal requirements are met, the account restriction is lifted. Only then can transactions resume under the direction of the authorized person.

In short, when a client passes away, all account activity is stopped until a legally authorized representative is formally identified and approved.
