  1. If you have better dates/times that would work best for you, please feel free to include them in your email or voicemail. This will help us better assist you in getting scheduled or rescheduled if we do not connect on the first attempt.  
  2. If possible, please call no less than 72 hours (about 3 days) prior to the time of your meeting if you need to reschedule. We understand that last-minute emergencies may happen, but our planners put great effort into planning for your meetings, and that work will need to be redone if we need to reschedule.

How do I complete a DocuSign request?
When you receive an email requesting your electronic signature, please follow the guidelines and safety precautions below.

  2. If you are signing through Fidelity or Schwab, it should prompt you to login to your accounts for verification.  
  3. Your Adobe signing will require a password. This should’ve been provided to you by someone on the Operations Team. If you did not receive an email or phone call with this information, please reach out using the information above. 
  4. All emails should directly state who they are from, including mentioning S.E.E.D. in some way. Please use caution, and if you have any doubt that an email is from us, always call, and we can confirm.
