Account Maintenance

Handles the operational side of account maintenance in brokerage and advisory firms. Use this when you need to process address changes with fraud controls, update beneficiaries after life events like marriage or divorce, re-title accounts to trusts, manage cost basis and tax lot methods, apply compliance holds, or set up standing instructions for systematic withdrawals and dividend reinvestment. Also covers death notifications, QDRO processing, power of attorney situations, and account closures. The guidance is detailed on risk management, like catching elder abuse red flags when a third party requests an address change followed by a withdrawal. If you're building account servicing workflows or need to understand the operational and regulatory requirements around the full account lifecycle, this covers the mechanics.
