Video Summary

This module is a trust-account survival guide for brokers. It covers limits on unlicensed staff, mandatory written disclosure for conflicts, reporting and 1099 tax duties, and the $2,000 threshold. It warns against bad checks, premature disbursement, Venmo/Zelle/crypto for trust funds, and explains steps for bounced funds. It also reviews abandoned property rules, emergency succession planning, E&O versus fidelity coverage, HOA insurance requirements, four-year record retention, secure destruction of PII, and audit readiness. The key lesson: brokers remain fully responsible for compliance and must keep trust accounts protected, accurate, documented, and audit-ready at all times.
