FAQ
In an escrow agreement, one party—usually a depositor—deposits funds or an asset with the escrow agent until the time that the contract is fulfilled. Once the contractual conditions are met, the escrow agent will deliver the funds or other assets to the beneficiary.
As an escrow agent, the Bank will: 1) receive funds from the project owner or contractor, 2) deposit funds into a separate non-interest bearing account, 3) honor checks written against the account, 4) mail monthly account statements, and 5) provide on-line access to the necessary parties.
What Is an Escrow Agent? An escrow agent is a person or entity that holds property in trust for third parties while a transaction is finalized or a disagreement is resolved. The role of escrow agent is often played by an attorney (or notary in civil law jurisdictions).
The Escrow Holder: prepares escrow instructions. requests a preliminary title search to determine the present condition of title to the property. requests a beneficiary's statement if debt or obligation is to be taken over by the buyer. complies with lender's requirements, specified in the escrow agreement.
Note that an existing agent or an attorney of grantor or grantee cannot act as an escrow agent due to the conflict of interest in the duties. The selection of the escrow holder is normally done by an agreement between the principals.
The traditional escrow relationship goes like this: your bank acts as escrow agent and opens an account at the bank to hold funds, which are not released until the escrow agent (in this case the bank) has satisfied its requirements. Escrow agreements can help reduce risk in a variety of scenarios.

As an escrow agent, the Bank will: 1) receive funds from the project owner or contractor, 2) deposit funds into a separate non-interest bearing account, 3) honor checks written against the account, 4) mail monthly account statements, and 5) provide on-line access to the necessary parties.
However, if you need to open one, you simply need to contact a bank and ask to open an escrow account. Be prepared to offer details about yourself, why you're opening the escrow, and information about any other parties involved in the escrow.
