thanks for your response. Is there going to be a way to conduct simultaneous settlements in future without financially linking them? I ask, because at the moment we are linking them by $1 which has to come out of the source account (being trust) and then gets paid back in the trailing matter. The problem with this is, it is a breach of trust accounting rules. We cannot just take out and put money back into trust, it doesn't work that way. If our client has money in our trust account we would need their authorisation to do this (which means getting authorisation to move $1), and if they don't have money in our trust we are breaching the trust account rules. It may seem silly for just $1, but trust accounting rules are quite strict and we cannot just take out and put back money in this way.
