Questions
Contact Us if you have any questions about IOLTA.For Firms in Kansas AND Missouri
If you practice in both Kansas and Missouri and you wish to participate in IOLTA in both states, you can set up an IOLTA account in the same bank if it has branches in both states. You will need to have two accounts and they need to be labeled for each state (one titled Kansas IOLTA and the other Missouri IOLTA). In Kansas, participating in IOLTA is still voluntary. If you wish to decline participation, you are required to send a letter or a declination form to the clerk of the appellate courts. Please send a copy of any declination to the KBF.
Notice of Declination
Important If you choose not to participate in IOLTA in Kansas and you have Kansas clients, you still must establish a non-IOLTA trust account in Kansas. Refer to Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct 1.15(d)(3)(iii).
