The attorney has the obligation to make sure that funds he or she is holding that rightfully belong to a client or third
person get to that client or third person in a timely manner.  Notwithstanding that the attorney is supposed to keep a
list of all the checks that are outstanding from month to month, in some instances there may be a check that was not
cashed within sixty days of its disbursement but the attorney is not aware of its existence.  It is the obligation of the
attorney to take all reasonable steps to determine who holds an interest in the to-date uncashed checks.  The attorney
shall remit the funds to the appropriate individuals or entitles.  For the funds that can not reasonably be found to
belong to specific individuals or entitles, or the individuals or entitles can not be located, those funds are to be
removed from the IOLTA and placed in a separate account for safe keeping.  If, after due diligence, the attorney is
unable to ascertain the interest-holder, the funds should be earmarked to escheat to the state after the completion of
the statutory waiting period.
Checks outstanding over six months & not
