Answer to Question 1

IOLTA account programs were set up by the states for several purposes. One was to permit attorneys to aggregate small sums of money held on behalf of multiple clients and allow them to be placed in a single escrow account, so long as the attorney maintained separate paper accounting. However, a single account was troublesome if interest was earned. The interest earned on the account is not credited to the individual clients or the law firm but goes instead to a client protection fund or legal aid fund administered by the state. Thus, the second purpose of IOLTA is funding legal services.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
