How does Law App distinguish General Trust from Controlled Money

Law App separates these under trust account setup:

General Trust: Pooled account used for multiple clients.

Controlled Money: Designated bank account for a specific client (required for some property matters, undertakings, etc.)

📌 Features:

Each file displays the trust type.

Controlled Money matters prompt for account and institution details.

Different reporting pathways are used (per Legal Profession Uniform Law s137 and equivalents).

Tip: Controlled money must have a separate ledger and statement trail for each account. Law App maintains these automatically.
