Disclosing checking accounts in a California property case

What belongs on FL-142 item 6

Personal, joint, business-linked and cash-management checking accounts that either party owns, controls or can draw upon.

Use a description that a second reviewer can match to a statement, title record, contract or the opposing disclosure. Record the value state—known, estimated, unknown, pending or none—instead of treating every empty cell as zero.

The source record for checking accounts

• Full statements rather than screenshots of one balance
• Check images and transaction detail for unusual payments
• Ownership and authorized-signer records
• Reconciliation of outstanding checks and pending debits

Completeness checks before service

• Confirm every checking accounts item has an identifier and custodian or location.
• Tie every amount to an as-of date and retain the source.
• List disputed and unvalued items visibly rather than excluding them.
• Recompute the form totals from the underlying rows and check for duplication.

What moves forward

The ledger entry must preserve its form item, date, value, debt, asserted character and evidence status. That same identity carries into characterization, valuation, negotiation and any final transfer. Available balance, ledger balance and statement ending balance can differ. Choose and label one dated measure, then identify transactions that will settle after it.
