Escrow

An escrow is based on a contractual agreement in which a third party (an interested party or escrow agent) receives and distributes the money or property to the main parties involved. As a rule, a contractual agreement contains numerous conditions, under which the strictly defined legal actions must be carried out. Payments depend on the terms and conditions agreed by the parties of the transaction (for example, a trust account opened in the name of the borrower to pay the liabilities like property taxes and insurance premiums).

Amazon Corporate&Immigration Services advises throughout the transaction until all the contractual obligations are properly fulfilled, and assists in drafting the escrow agreements, opening and managing the escrow accounts, as well as acting as an escrow agent. Opening of an escrow account can also be arranged.
