Chapter 3: Keeping Books and Records

Law clerks working in a firm’s real estate division should be aware of the general and trust accounts used for electronic registration. This online chapter (Chapter 13) discusses the reports created in Teraview for disbursements incurred in conducting searches and the use of the e-regTM account used for payment of land transfer tax and registration fees. The chapter also shows the authorization form required by the Law Society when funds are withdrawn from the firm’s e-regTM account by Teraview. A law clerk should understand the particular process used by a firm for real estate transactions.
