Did you know that of all the parties involved with a real estate transaction, you, the attorney, have the most to lose? As we have traveled and audited throughout the United States, we have observed many State Bar Associations taking the stance of zero tolerance and issuing severe punishments if their escrow / trust account is not reconciled properly in a 3-way manner. In some cases this has lead to the attorney being disbarred.

A ‘3-way’ reconciliation is your best protection against external fraud, internal fraud, bank errors, negligence and/or misappropriations that you would be financially responsible for.

If you do not know your account is being reconciled in a ‘3-way’ manner, contact us for a free consultation. In addition, we also offer confidential audits of your closing files to ensure proper compliance. 

Depending on your state, there may be Bar Rules that regulate your business regarding escrow/trust account reconciliations. Please choose your state below (if your state is not listed, please check back regularly as this site is constantly being updated):

We are familiar with the majority of different closing and disbursement softwares including, but not limited to:

SoftPro • RamQuest • LandTech • DisplaySoft • Closer’s Choice

Title Soft • DoubleTime • QuickBooks • Quicken • and more

QuickBooks and Quicken users – this software must be setup properly from the beginning of the account, otherwise, you will not be able to reconcile properly. We highly recommend you contact us as soon as possible to help ensure your compliance with the State’s Bar rules and regulations.
