Washington Impound of Funds Agreement (WIFE) is an agreement between two parties (the “granting party” and the “receiving party”) that allows the granting party to withhold funds from the receiving party in order to ensure that the receiving party meets certain obligations. The agreement is usually used in the context of a loan or other financial transaction. The agreement is designed to protect the granting party’s interests by requiring the receiving party to keep a portion of the funds in reserve until the terms of the loan or transaction are fulfilled. The agreement outlines the terms and conditions of the funds' impoundment, including the amount of funds to be withheld, the length of time the funds are to be held in reserve, and the conditions under which the funds may be released to the receiving party. There are two types of Washington Impound of Funds Agreement: the Standard Impound of Funds Agreement and the Enhanced Impound of Funds Agreement. The Standard Impound of Funds Agreement is the most basic type and is typically used for loans or other financial transactions that involve a small amount of money. The Enhanced Impound of Funds Agreement is more comprehensive and is generally used for loans or transactions involving larger amounts of money. Both agreements provide the granting party with the right to access the impounded funds in the event that the receiving party fails to meet the obligations outlined in the agreement. The agreements also provide for the granting party to be reimbursed for any losses incurred due to the receiving party’s failure to meet its obligations.
