ESCROW SERVICES

Our notary office offers a secure and reliable solution for managing transactions, ensuring that both parties fulfill the agreed terms before the transfer of funds or assets. Acting as a neutral third party, we designate a trusted escrow agent to hold funds, documents, or assets in trust until all conditions of the agreement are satisfied. We authenticate the escrow agreement, ensuring its legality and binding nature, while safeguarding both buyers and sellers from potential risks. Whether for real estate transactions, vehicle purchases, or corporate agreements, our service guarantees transparency, security, and peace of mind throughout the entire process.

How the Escrow Process Works

1. Initiating the Escrow Agreement

The seller and buyer formalize their transaction by signing an escrow agreement authenticated and facilitated by Notary Villanova. The notary ensures that all legal aspects of the agreement are clear and binding.

2. Designating the Escrow Agent and Fund Deposit

Notary Villanova designates a trusted escrow agent who will securely hold the funds. The buyer then transfers the agreed amount to the escrow account managed by the appointed agent.

3. Delivery of Goods or Services

Once the escrow agent confirms receipt of the funds, Notary Villanova notifies the seller, who can proceed with the delivery of goods or services, assured of secure payment.

4. Release of Funds to the Seller

After the buyer confirms receipt and approval of the goods or services, the escrow agent releases the funds to the seller, finalizing the transaction in a safe and transparent manner.

BENEFITS FOR BUYER AND SELLER

SAFE, SECURE, AND NO ADVANCE PAYMENT RISK

The buyer can be confident in the quality of the goods or services before the seller receives payment. The seller will only be paid once the buyer has irrevocably deposited the funds into the escrow account, managed by the designated escrow agent, and protected by insolvency laws.

FAIR AND TRANSPARENT

The step-by-step process ensures fair and transparent handling. Deliberate fraud is excluded, as no goods are delivered and no funds are paid without proper consideration. Notary Villanova authenticates the escrow agreement, ensuring its legal validity and clarity, while the escrow agent handles the transaction securely.
