What is the role of the Pennsylvania IOLTA Board in handling Unclaimed and Unidentifiable IOLTA Funds?

Effective June 29, 2018, Pennsylvania Rule of Professional Conduct 1.15(v) requires lawyers and law firms to remit unclaimed or unidentifiable IOLTA Funds to the IOLTA Board following reasonable efforts to identify or locate the owner of funds for a minimum of two years. If at any time thereafter, the owner of the funds is identified and/or located, the funds remitted to the IOLTA Board may be reclaimed.

Pro Hac Vice

Out-of-state attorneys seeking to enter their appearance on a Pennsylvania case must pay an admission fee of $375 per case to the IOLTA Board prior to filing the motion with the court. Complete your pro hac vice application online and pay the $375 fee by check or credit card.
