Minnesota Statutes Chapter 82 establishes several requirements for a real estate broker's trust account. Which of the following is NOT a requirement for a Minnesota broker's trust account under Ch. 82?

Correct Answer

C) The broker must maintain a separate trust account for each individual client or transaction.

Minnesota law does NOT require brokers to maintain a separate trust account for each individual client or transaction. A single pooled trust account (or a limited number of accounts) is permissible, provided that the broker maintains accurate records that allow for a complete accounting of each client's funds within the pooled account. The requirement is for proper recordkeeping and segregation of funds from personal accounts — not a separate account per client.

Answer Options
A
The trust account must be maintained at a federally insured financial institution located in Minnesota.
B
Client funds must be kept separate from the broker's personal and operating funds at all times.
C
The broker must maintain a separate trust account for each individual client or transaction.
D
The broker must be able to provide a complete accounting of all funds held in the trust account upon request by the Department of Commerce.
