End to end

From the appointment to the audit

A guardianship appointment lasts years and ends in an audit. Fidura carries all of it, not just the reporting.

  1. 01

    Set up the ward

    Record the order, the accounts, the income sources and the opening balances. Every appointment the ward carries sits on one record.

  2. 02

    Run the money

    Deposits, bills and checks post to the register. Bank statements reconcile it, and the SSI resource cap is tracked as you go.

  3. 03

    File the accounting

    Each report builds from the reconciled ledger, in the format the court or agency asks for.

  4. 04

    Show the work

    The record still shows who entered what and when. Filed copies and reconciliation proofs stay attached to the ward.

One register per ward account

  • Deposits, checks, transfers and fees post with a category, a running balance and the name of whoever entered them.
  • Load the bank statement and its lines clear the rows they cover. When the account balances, the reconciliation statement is filed to the ward.
  • Corrections are recorded as voids and keep their history.

Checks print from the register

  • Record the check and the face fills in — the ward’s name, the capacity you sign in, the payee address, the amount in words and the MICR line.
  • Sign with a stored facsimile signature, or leave the line blank for wet ink.
  • Print the whole bill run by fiduciary, in tray order. Each check copy is filed to the ward, and voids stay on the record.

Day to day

The work between filings

Resource caps

Only countable assets count toward the SSI $2,000 limit. Remaining headroom shows beside the balance, and the ward is flagged before the limit is reached.

Deadlines

Court anniversaries, SSA cycles, VA notices and your own dates, across every appointment, on one board.

Tasks

Checks to print, statements to reconcile and reports coming due, collected across the roster and assigned by name.

Files

Ten drawers per ward for orders, statements, receipts and correspondence. Reconciliation proofs and check copies file themselves.

Integration

Works with Clio Manage.

Connect the firm’s Clio account and Fidura pulls the guardianship matters it can see. Matters already linked to a ward stay linked. The rest wait on the Wards table for someone to confirm or dismiss.

For the partner

The whole book at once

  • Funds under management, cash flow, income by agency and spend by category, over the trailing twelve months.
  • A firm-wide log of who did what and when, exportable for an auditor or a field examiner.
  • Hand a ward to a colleague, or pick one back up after months, from the record instead of from email.
