As a successful Financial Advisor (FA), having a formal succession plan is essential—not just for you, but for your clients and your family. At Andrew Garrett, we provide tailored succession planning solutions to ensure a seamless transition of your practice in the event of unexpected death or permanent disability. Our structured agreements protect your clients, monetize your practice, and provide financial security for your estate or retirement.

  • Fixed Amount Plan – Pre-determined, equal monthly payments over time based on a percentage of your average production.
     

  • Commission Sharing Plan – Revenue-sharing arrangement for a set period, allowing for a gradual transition.
