LINDEMANNLAW offers Real Estate and M&A escrow services strictly limited to lawyer-specific situations as an integral part of our legal and tax advice for transactions.
Role of Escrow in Real Estate and M&A Transactions
In mergers and acquisitions (M&A), escrow accounts are essential for guaranteeing that both buyers and sellers fulfill their financial and other commitments. These arrangements offer mutual protection, minimizing the risk of non-completion and ensuring that deliverables and transaction documents are managed effectively.
Benefits of Escrow in Real Estate and M&A Deals:
- Escrow arrangements enable smooth transactions, even when parties are in different locations.
- Ideal for international deals, where delays in asset transfer (e.g., shares, real estate) can occur.
- Buyers can demonstrate they have the necessary funds or financing to complete a purchase.
- Typically, 10-25% of the purchase price is retained in escrow during a warranty period to ensure seller representations are accurate and post-closing conditions are met.
Execution and Timing of Escrow Agreements
Timely preparation of escrow agreements is crucial. Clear and specific trigger events for the release of escrow funds must be defined, ranging from joint signatures to third-party confirmations.
