Morgan Stanley Terminates Additional Advisor Over Inherited Accounts

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:

According to sources, Morgan Stanley has fired another advisor amid the company’s inherited account coding issues as ex-Morgan Stanley advisors continue to join new firms. Rhode Island-based Jeffrey Martin, who had spent his entire career at Morgan Stanley, was terminated over inherited account disputes. Recently, Martin ranked sixth on Forbes’ 2021 “Best-in-State” wealth advisors list, which claimed that he oversaw $652 million in client assets. 

Nevertheless, Thomas Foster, another ex-Terre Haute branch manager who was recently terminated from Morgan Stanley over inherited account coding issues has joined Woodbury Financial Services. Additionally, Massachusetts-based father-daughter team Andrew and Mikalya Michienzi, who had been fired from Morgan Stanley over similar accusations, joined Oppenheimer & Co. in early May. Morgan Stanley has terminated at least ten advisors since November, and several of these advisors have joined rival broker-dealers.
