How to transfer Trust Funds to another Trust Account

This article explains how to transfer trust funds from one general ledger account (i.e. bank account) to another. If you are simply transferring funds between matters, but the G/L account will remain the same, please follow the instructions in Transferring Charges, Credits, or Trust Funds between Matters.

1. Navigate to Trust > Trust Deposits. Click Add.
   
   
   
   
2. Enter the Matter Number and Trust Account that you would like to withdraw the funds from.
   
3. Enter the Amount that you would like to withdraw, but put a negative (-) in front of it.
   
4. Enter the Description.
   
5. Check Create another, then click Done.
   
6. Repeat the same steps as above for the second trust deposit, except enter the same Amount as a positive (no minus in front of it), and change the Trust Account to the account that you are transferring the money to. If you are also transferring the money to a different matter, change the Matter Number to that matter.
   
7. Uncheck Create another, then click Done.
   
8. Highlight ONE of the trust deposits, then click Post.
   
   
9. Do NOT highlight both of the trust deposits and post them at the same time! This will cause a collision that makes them wash out, and NEITHER trust deposit will appear on your G/L.
   
10. Highlight the other trust deposit, then click Post.
