Escrows
Escrows are documents, real estate, securities, monies, etc. deposited with a neutral third party (the escrow agent) to be delivered only upon the fulfillment of a condition. Independence Bank acts as the escrow agent, holding documents and acting for both parties in accordance with instructions. This includes handling payments and disbursements, issuing 1099’s and 1098’s, and the optional reserve account for taxes and insurance. Please contact one of our escrow agents in the Havre branch if you have any questions.
