In a recent event, a customer dispute has arisen involving Allen Soulek, a broker associated with KOVACK SECURITIES INC. The client alleges that Soulek failed to transfer the full amount of shares into her deceased mother’s new account in 2021 as requested due to a stock split. This failure has allegedly led to an estate battle and additional costs amounting to $72,021.78.
KOVACK SECURITIES INC, where Soulek is currently affiliated, has been registered with the Central Registration Depository (CRD 44848) since July 15, 2010. Prior to this, Soulek was associated with SCHWAN FINANCIAL ADVISORS, LLC (CRD 127313) from July 16, 2008 to the present day.
