The old way vs RedBird.

  • The old way: Ownership changes kept in emails.

    With RedBird: Each change kept with the day it starts to count.

  • The old way: Missing W-9s found at year end.

    With RedBird: Owner addresses, W-9s, and tax IDs kept current all year.

  • The old way: Shares change without papers.

    With RedBird: We change a share only from papers you give us.

Questions.

What is a division order?

Division order: the paper an owner signs to confirm the share, or decimal, they will be paid on. The share comes from the title records, not the division order. Owners sign it before payments start.

What happens when ownership changes?

We record the change with its effective date, the day it starts to count. Payments after that date use the new share. We change a share only from papers you give us.
