LLQP Ethics Common Law decision filters

  • Client interest first: identify the duty to act honestly, competently, and in the client’s interest before choosing a commercial response.
  • Disclosure and consent: check conflicts, replacement, compensation, privacy, information sharing, and material fact disclosure.
  • Documentation: prefer the answer that leaves a clear, defensible file note when advice, consent, or suitability is involved.
  • Escalation: recognize when the correct action is to stop, disclose, get authorization, consult compliance, or decline the transaction.

When LLQP Ethics Common Law practice is enough

If several unseen mixed attempts are above roughly 75% and you can explain the duty, disclosure, documentation, or escalation logic behind each answer, you are likely ready. More practice should improve compliance judgment, not rote rule recall.

  • B. The client is not receiving fair and complete replacement information
  • C. Replacement disclosure applies only to group plans

  • B. Nothing if the sale closes

  • B. Process the change immediately
