How does Law App distinguish General Trust from Controlled Money

Contents

    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.
