14 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.
This check verifies that the 'Decedent’s Merrill account number' in Section 1 is provided, as it is marked 'required'. It also validates that the number conforms to Merrill's standard account number format. This is critical for correctly identifying the decedent's account, and failure to provide a valid number will prevent any processing of the transfer.
Validates that the 'Beneficiary SSN/EIN' field in Section 1 follows the correct format for either a Social Security Number (XXX-XX-XXXX) or an Employer Identification Number (XX-XXXXXXX). Correct tax identification is mandatory for financial reporting and account setup. An incorrectly formatted number will cause the form to be rejected for compliance reasons.
Ensures the 'Beneficiary email address' provided in Section 1 is in a valid email format (e.g., [email protected]). This is important for communication regarding the account transfer and for setting up new online account access. An invalid email format could delay the process or prevent the beneficiary from receiving important notifications.
This check confirms that the 'Beneficiary percentage (%)' in Section 1 is a numeric value greater than 0 and less than or equal to 100. Since the form instructions state a separate Letter of Authorization is needed for each beneficiary, this value represents their designated share. An invalid or zero percentage would make the distribution instruction ambiguous and legally void.
Verifies that exactly one distribution option is selected in Section 2. The beneficiary must choose to transfer assets to an existing Merrill account, a new Advisory Center account, or a new Edge Self-Directed account. Selecting zero or multiple options makes the instruction unclear, and the form will be rejected until a single, clear choice is made.
This validation ensures that if a distribution option is selected in Section 2, the corresponding account number field is filled out. For example, if 'Transfer to my existing Merrill account number' is checked, an account number must be provided. This is essential for directing the assets to the correct destination; without it, the transfer cannot be executed.
