Escrow

Definition

A legal arrangement where a third party holds funds or assets until a specific condition is met.

In mortgages, an Escrow Account holds money for property taxes and homeowners insurance. The lender collects 1/12th of the estimated annual costs each month and pays the bills for you when they are due.
