04 - SUBMIT

Carry out the action.

DISCOVER → REVIEW → REQUEST → SUBMIT → VERIFY → COMPLETE

Do It Correctly. Keep a Record. Don't Assume It's Finished.

By the time you reach SUBMIT, you should already know:

• What action was established during REVIEW
• What the institution requires
• Which forms and supporting documents are needed
• How the institution wants everything submitted
• What evidence you should expect afterward

SUBMIT is where you carry out that action.

Before You Submit

Before sending anything, make one final check:

☐ Current institution-required form

☐ Trust name and date checked when applicable
☐ Beneficiary information checked when applicable
☐ Required signatures and dates complete
☐ Notarization complete when required
☐ Medallion Signature Guarantee obtained when required
☐ Required consents obtained

☐ Submission method confirmed

Your SUBMIT Tool

Don't Sign What You Don't Understand

If an institution asks you to sign something you don't understand, stop.

Get the question answered before signing or submitting it.

Submission Is Not Completion

Sending the paperwork does not mean the change has been completed.

Keep a record of what you submitted, when you submitted it, how it was submitted, and any confirmation or tracking information you received.

You will confirm the actual result during 05 - VERIFY.

SUBMIT COMPLETE?

Before continuing:

☐ I completed the Ready-to-Submit Check™.
☐ I submitted everything using the required method.
☐ I kept a copy of exactly what I submitted.
☐ I recorded the submission date.
☐ I recorded confirmation, tracking, or reference information when available.
☐ I know when I should follow up.

READY FOR THE NEXT STEP?

Submitting the request is not the finish line. The next step is to verify what actually happened.
