Managing Client Trust Accounts

Rules, Regulations, and Common Sense

This booklet has been prepared by the Washington State Bar Association as a guide for both new and experienced lawyers in dealing with trust accounting questions. Our purpose is to provide you with the basic rules, highlight the areas that will always require your best judgment because there are no absolute rules, and dispense some practical experience provided by years of answering lawyers' questions. Whenever you are dealing with trust accounts and questions arise, please do not hesitate to call us at 206-443-9722 or 800-945-9722 or e-mail us at questions@wsba.org.
