What You Should Do If Your Advisor Has Contact Information Changes

Your guide to why these changes matter and how to keep your accounts and communication secure.

Address, phone, or email updates for your advisor might seem routine, but staying on top of these changes is vital for secure and uninterrupted communication between you and your advisor.

What This Change Means:

Changes may reflect a move to a new office, a branch restructuring, or simply a correction to existing records. Sometimes, contact updates can signal bigger shifts such as a firm transition or internal restructuring.

Steps to Take:

  • Confirm any new contact information directly with your advisor before sending sensitive documents or requests.

  • Update your personal records, contact lists, and communications preferences so you never miss important alerts or account statements.

  • Ask your advisor if the change affects meeting locations, hours, or how you’ll communicate going forward.

  • Ensure your account and year-end tax statements arrive as expected. If you stop receiving expected documents, contact your advisor and the firm immediately.

  • If you experience difficulties reaching your advisor, contact the firm’s main office or support line for assistance.
