Escrow services

Escrow agent

As your independent escrow agent, we will look after specified assets in an escrow account until all agreed conditions are met between the parties in a transaction.

Cash and non-cash escrow

We will assist by providing a designated escrow account or secure system to hold items including cash and/or documents in a neutral capacity until the legal issue or financial transaction has been completed.

Valuables held in escrow can include real estate, stocks, securities, corporate bonds, or important documents such as bills of lading in shipping.

Opening bank accounts

We open dedicated bank accounts or hold cash in a money market fund for a specific purpose as outlined in the escrow agreement, supporting secure escrow payments.

Amending documentation where necessary

We will incorporate specific new conditions to the contract or escrow agreement as required.

Releasing assets

We will release assets upon the satisfaction of the stated conditions in the governance documentation, ensuring prompt and accurate completion of the escrow process.
