Application Forms

Please note the vast majority of transactions on our platform are online only. A list of these online transactions can be found here.

We also offer an Upload & Send Documents function that allows you to upload documents from a list of instruction types (including some offline application forms). The documents are automatically sent to the correct team to complete your request, saving you time and reducing turnarounds times.

In the sections below, you’ll find application forms relating to tasks you cannot currently complete online.

Here you’ll find all the forms for client and account administrative processes – including those relating to bereavement and planning ahead – that currently cannot be conducted online.

Client and account administration forms

When should I use this form?

  • To document all Adviser Fee agreements between you and your client(s).

Please set up Adviser Ongoing Fees online as this form cannot be used to set these up.

You’ll need client consent when setting up fees, and so we provide Client Authority forms as part of the set-up process. This form needs to be signed by the client before setting up or amending the fees, even if you have your own paperwork for fee arrangements. You do not need to send this form to us, but we may ask for this at a future date for regulatory purposes.

Client Authority form

Joint Client Authority form

 

When should I use this form?

  • If your client has passed away and the executors wish for the previous Adviser Ongoing Fee arrangement you had in place with your client to continue.

Please note if your client has passed away all existing Adviser Ongoing Fees will be stopped unless we receive this form.

Fee and Commission Authority (Deceased) form

 

When should I use this form?

  • You only need to complete this form if the online identity check fails.
