Since you last spoke
A beneficiary turns 25; a trust payout rule starts. Observed 6 days ago.

What the file observes
Last contact 60 days ago, by meeting: Trustee meeting; next generation did not attend.
Legacy is $2M short: $18M of $20M. Assumption on file: Next generation, currently unengaged.
A. Okafor-Lind is 79, past the age at which required minimum distributions begin (73).
Prefers to be contacted: Tuesdays, with the trustee's daughter joining.
What Relay infers, least certain first
The firm's account record carries a note: "Beneficiary change to a younger family member, requested by phone, on an account whose oldest holder is 79." Its meaning has not been confirmed with the client.
What an inference is here, and what a model would do
What Relay could not establish
2 beneficiaries are on the account and no contact with any of them is logged.
The next generation's intentions are not in the file; assets that pass to people we have never spoken to are the retention risk.
Ask: Would you be comfortable with us meeting the beneficiaries directly?
No trusted contact is on file.
If capacity or exploitation is ever in question there is nobody the firm may call. FINRA Rule 4512 asks that one be requested.
Ask: Who would you want us to contact if we could not reach you?
Client information refresh: T. Okafor-Lind has been open 5 days.
Until it is returned, the profile the rules are checked against is the old one.
Client information refresh: N. Okafor-Lind has been open 5 days.
Until it is returned, the profile the rules are checked against is the old one.
