Belize Escrow Services (Purchase of Property)

---

 

It is highly recommended that purchasers utilize escrow services when purchasing property in Belize. Escrow is a legal arrangement in which an asset it deposited into safe keeping under the trust of a neutral third party (escrow agent) pending the completion of an arrangement made under a contract. Once requested, the attorney will prepare a legal escrow agreement which will be signed and executed by all parties. The escrow agreement will allow purchaser an opportunity to safe guard their funds by placing it in the account of the attorney pending the closing of the sale of the property. Our company has provided efficient, and professional Escrow services to many international and local clients. The escrow agreement essentially provides for the following:

1. Names of the Parties
2. Details of the funds to be received
3. Notice of the contents of the Sale Agreement with respect to the closing date and default clauses
4. Account of the Escrow Agent (Attorney)
5. Details as to how instructions are taken by the escrow agent The escrow funds are deposited into a non interest bearing trust account and as such are protected against any and all contingences.
