Advisor Continuity Planning Templates
These templates have been built specifically for independent financial advisors to create comprehensive Continuity Plans for their RIAs. Our goal is to maximize client retention during the unexpected death or incapacitation of an advisor.
The templates are based on the real-life experience of an advisor who had a stroke one weekend and never returned to work. His Continuity Partner achieved 95% client retention after 12 months.
There are about 25 templates, covering the 4 main topics: Continuity Partner Fit, Personal and Business Considerations, Marketing Your Continuity Plan, and Legal and Financial Considerations. See below for a list of templates by topic area.
