How to Add Funds to a Trust Account

You can easily add funds to a client trust and track balances during a case.

Manage Bank Accounts

Before adding funds, make sure your firm's bank accounts are set up correctly.

  • Go to Settings > Manage Bank Accounts

  • Select your firm's default trust account

  • If needed, add additional bank accounts to track funds separately

You can view all transactions for each bank account in the Transactions section of the contact or matter by using the account drop-down menu.

Add funds to a Trust Account

Follow these steps to add funds:

  1. Open the correct Contact or Matter record

  2. Click Billing > Trust Balances

  3. Click Actions > Add Funds

  4. Complete the form:

    • Select the Bank Account

    • Select the Contact

    • Select the Matter (if applicable)

    • Enter the Amount and Date

    • Fill in any additional details as needed

Note:

  • The "Paid By" field is optional. Use it if the person making the payment is different from the client.

Important Reminder

If the person listed as the Primary Contact/Client is not the actual client or principal applicant:

  • Review the Parties Involved section of the matter

  • Confirm which contact is marked as Primary

This helps ensure funds are applied to the correct person and record.
