In real estate transactions, funds received from a sale are often held in a trust account until the settlement is complete. After settlement, the net amount (after all deductions) is transferred to the general business account for operational use.
In this case, since the withdrawal by EFT is made to the Brightstone Law Practice Trust Account, it indicates that the funds were initially held in trust and then disbursed to your general business account.
