Investment Account Closure & Liquidation Request Form

Simplify Investment Account Closures with Paperform

Whether you're an investment firm, financial advisor, wealth management company, or brokerage, managing account closure requests efficiently is critical to maintaining client trust and regulatory compliance. This Investment Account Closure & Liquidation Request Form template provides a structured, professional way to collect all necessary information from clients looking to close their investment accounts.

Streamlined data collection for complex financial workflows

This template captures everything you need in one place: account identification, liquidation instructions, distribution preferences, cost basis reporting methods, and tax withholding elections. Instead of juggling emails, PDFs, and phone calls, your clients can submit a complete closure request through a secure, on-brand form that integrates directly with your existing systems.

Paperform's conditional logic ensures clients only see relevant questions based on their selections—for example, wire transfer fields appear only when that distribution method is chosen, and beneficiary details show only when applicable. This creates a smoother experience while reducing errors and incomplete submissions.

Built for investment professionals and financial advisors

This form is ideal for:

• Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) managing client portfolios
• Wealth management firms handling account transitions
• Brokerage firms processing liquidation requests
• Financial planners coordinating account consolidations
• Trust and estate administrators managing beneficiary distributions

Use Paperform's calculation engine to handle complex logic around liquidation preferences and distribution splits, while custom email notifications keep your operations team informed the moment a request arrives.

Automate your post-submission workflow with Stepper

Once a closure request is submitted, Stepper can automatically trigger your compliance review process, update your CRM with account status changes, notify portfolio managers, generate internal task assignments, and sync data to your custodian platforms or accounting software. This means less manual data entry and faster turnaround times for your clients.

Need clients to sign off on final distribution instructions or acknowledge tax implications? Use Papersign to send secure eSignature requests directly from the form submission, maintaining a complete audit trail for regulatory requirements.

Investment account closures involve highly sensitive information. Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant with enterprise security features including SSL encryption, data residency controls, and role-based permissions. Your clients' financial data stays protected, and your firm stays compliant with industry regulations.

Trusted by financial services firms worldwide, this template helps you deliver a professional, efficient account closure experience while maintaining the security and compliance standards your clients expect.
