Confirm the current counterparty
Ask who provides the service, who is authorised to act and which written terms apply. Check the appropriate professional records where relevant.
Protect continuity
Clarify the status of ongoing offers, deposits, instructions and personal documents through the authorised parties. Keep an evidence trail. Consolidation itself does not establish that every client receives better or worse advice; the actual arrangements need to be checked.
