HOW TO CHOOSE AN ESCROW COMPANY (PROBATE EDITION)
Decision Support for Fiduciaries
Choosing an escrow company in a probate context is a decision that affects timing, compliance, and risk management. Probate escrows differ from standard transactions and require experience with court-driven processes.
A suitable escrow company demonstrates familiarity with probate documentation, clear communication practices, and respect for neutrality. Cost transparency and problem-solving history matter more than speed promises.
This decision is not about advocacy or shortcuts. It is about selecting a neutral professional capable of protecting the estate through a disciplined process and compliance.
Understanding how escrow functions in practice provides essential context when evaluating whether an escrow company is equipped for probate work.
