Hello all. We have a situation in which a company is representing a client of theirs in a guardian capacity. They just cleaned out the individual's storage and found a lot of cash. They took the cash and created an official check payable to their client and remitted from that same client. This might be a dumb question but I am thinking that we need to file the CTR on the Corporate guardian business, the individual transactor and their client. AMIRIGHT?

Let's see if I have the players correct. The company has been named by a court as guardian of the property of one of its clients, and identified a stash of cash. The company had the cash brought to its bank (your bank) to swap the cash for a bank official check.

If that's correct, I see two persons on whose behalf the transaction was completed: the company, because the transaction was done in furtherance of its fiduciary responsibilities, and its client. And there is, of course the individual who completed the transaction on behalf of the company and its client.

So if I got the players correctly, I think we are in agreement.

Sounds like you are understanding the situation I was trying to describe above perfectly...
I appreciate your time in not only dissecting the evidence but your advice as well!
Thank you smile

I hope you are staying inside and warm while all that freezing weather sweeps down from Canada and the U.P.

LOL at least the sun "feels" warmer now that it is March and we are still in subzero temps. It has been widely noted around here that the first person who mentions that it is too hot this spring/summer will probably have to get punched in the throat smile

That would be letting him/her off too easily.

You are right. We'll have to think of harsher punishments. That may keep us occupied until the weather actually does get nicer. (Please tell me it will get nicer)
