We have a client who was born in Canada, and as a child was awarded money from a court case, which was put into a trust fund for her. Now she is a grown woman and living in the U.S. and does not know how to access the account. As her representation, do we need to contact a Canadian attorney and/or banker to handle this, or can a U.S. attorney and/or banker do it?

If your client knows which bank or other entity in Canada is holding the fund, she should be able to deal with that bank or business directly or with the assistance of her U.S. attorney or banker. If there is any legal requirement to involve Canadian representation, she will learn of it in her initial contacts.
