Description of an Escrow:

A prospective buyer places money into an escrow trust account along with the
instruction that those funds are to be held in that escrow trust account until certain
specified conditions have been fulfilled, which may include getting title to a
specific piece of property. When all the specified conditions are fulfilled, the
buyer's monies are credited to the seller and the buyer gets title to the property
which was the subject of the escrow.
