Maintain Valuable Client Property

Return to the Maintenance Menu

The Maintain Valuable Client Property routine allows the Firm to track Client property that they are responsible for. For example, if a Client asks the Firm to keep a copy of their Will, this form will let the Firm easily record that they are indeed responsible for this copy of the Will, the location of the Will, as well as any changes to or movements of the document.

When the Maintain Valuable Client Property routine is accessed from the eQuinox main menu, the screen shown below will be displayed.
