Managing Investments for Trust Accounts
Registry trust accounts are used to hold money for a beneficiary until a time when the beneficiary is able to receive it. While in trust, the money can be invested on the beneficiary's behalf. Odyssey provides a way to track and record information on those investments.
Investment accounts are maintained from the registry Transactions view of the case Financial tab.
