Escrow and deposit disputes

When the deal breaks, the deposit becomes its own dispute.

The answer may depend on the contract, timing, notices, escrow holder, competing demands, objection process, and the reason the transaction ended.

Start with the holder and contract

Identify who holds the funds, under which agreement, and what the agreement requires after a demand, objection, termination, or unresolved dispute.

A short chronology should capture deposit delivery, contingencies, notices, extensions, demands, objections, and any escrow communications.

Possession of the funds, a cancellation form, or one party's demand does not by itself resolve entitlement. The full contract and timeline matter.

Next step

Use the urgent route for a focused conflict and timing screen.
