Morning Session: When Escrow Meets the Courts: How Legal Decisions Shape Daily Practice
Escrow transactions often intersect with the court system in ways that can dramatically affect timelines, procedures, and liability. This session explores the most common legal proceedings and disputes that directly impact escrow professionals, providing the tools to navigate these situations with confidence and compliance.

The class will translate complex legal concepts into practical guidance on documentation, communication, and risk management.
Through real-world examples and case discussions, attendees will learn when to hold or release funds, how to interpret court orders, and how to respond to legal demands while upholding fiduciary and ethical obligations.
