Paperless repapering is the digital process of transferring client accounts and collecting required re-signatures during an advisor transition. When advisors move, client accounts often have to be re-documented to reflect new firm affiliations, custodians and agreements.
Traditional repapering relies on physical forms, wet signatures and manual processing, which slows transitions and increases error rates. Paperless repapering replaces these steps with digital forms, automated validation and electronic signatures.
