About Escrow Deposits

What Are Escrow Deposits?

This property type consists of escrow deposits and earnest money from real estate transactions that became disputed or fell through. Common examples include earnest money deposits when home purchases are cancelled due to inspection issues, or escrow funds tied up in boundary disputes between neighbors.

These funds go unclaimed when buyers move after failed transactions, sellers relocate during lengthy disputes, or when properties change hands multiple times during legal proceedings. People who've been involved in complicated real estate deals, inherited disputed property, or moved frequently often have unclaimed escrow funds.

The average claim is $361.30, though amounts range from small earnest money deposits to substantial down payments. To claim these funds, you'll need photo ID, proof of your involvement in the original transaction (purchase agreement or escrow documents), and verification of your current address.
