** Deadlines are our recommendation only. For physical certificates and assets held away from Raymond James, the transfer process is beyond our control. While every effort will be made to effect a timely transfer of these assets, since other institutions control the actual process, no assurance can be offered that the gift will be completed by 12/30/11 even if the appropriate gift documentation is received prior to the deadline noted.
