A title agency researches the property’s ownership history, reviews records for liens or other defects, prepares a title commitment, coordinates required clearance, and may issue title insurance.

They often occur within the same real estate closing, but they serve different purposes. Golm Law Firm provides both title and escrow support through attorney-supervised Florida transactions.

A title and escrow company combines title-related services with the handling of transaction funds. It may research ownership, address defects, issue title insurance, hold earnest money, and disburse funds when closing conditions are met.

Yes, a title company may hold escrow funds when authorized to do so and when it follows applicable transaction and account requirements.

The closing terms and applicable requirements govern release and disbursement.
