    • Check that the amount in the Available After Deposit field matches your own records for this trust account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a trust deposit be receipted from multiple parties?
When recording a Deposit Funds trust transaction you can only select one contact card as to who the funds have been received from.

If you need to record that the funds were provided by multiple people, the simplest solution is to select one of the contacts in the Received from field and list the other party in the Reason field.
How can I receipt a trust deposit to multiple matters?
triConvey does not currently support receipting one deposit into multiple matters. As a workaround, you can either:

  • Create a separate trust deposit with the correct amount for each relevant matter, providing the extra information in the Reason field on each deposit to denote that it forms part of one overall transaction.

  • Create one trust deposit on one of the relevant matters for the full amount of the deposit, noting in the Reason field that this is for several matters. Then, create a Trust Transfer to create a trust journal, moving the correct amount of money to each subsequent matter.
