Frequently Asked Questions

What is an IOLTA account, and when is it required?

An Interest on Lawyer Account (IOLTA) is a trust account used to hold client funds that are nominal in amount or expected to be held for a short duration. In New York, attorneys are generally required to deposit qualifying client funds into an approved IOLTA account, with interest benefiting legal aid and access-to-justice programs.

How do you maintain regulatory compliance?

Our processes are designed to support compliance with applicable New York attorney trust account and escrow regulations. We maintain detailed records, segregate client funds, perform regular reconciliations, and provide the documentation necessary to support audits, reviews, and regulatory inquiries.

Do you provide escrow services for real estate brokers?

Yes. We support real estate professionals by administering earnest money deposits and other escrowed funds in accordance with applicable New York Department of State regulations and industry best practices for fiduciary account management.
