Overview

Settlement lists fail when they ignore ownership notices and transfer restrictions that show up in building or association paperwork. Include those items early, run tax and valuation tracks in parallel when values are significant, and brief every advisor from the same checklist.

What to keep in mind

Put ownership and building notifications on the early list
High-value assets often need parallel tax and valuation tracks
Use one checklist to brief every advisor the same way
