What is escrow and how does it work? 
Relationship of the parties to the escrow agreement
Escrow is a special type of contractual relationship, a new stage in shaping the security of obligations of the parties and guaranteeing results. This construction is not a kind of bank account agreement, nor is it a settlement. This is a specific tool containing elements of several contracts at once. It takes into account the norms of storage, and forms of payment, widely accepted in most countries — for example, a collection of payment or letter of credit. Modern legislation takes into account all the shortcomings of modern transactions involving an escrow agent, providing for possible conflicts that had to be encountered earlier.
What is escrow and how does it work?
Like any financial and legal mechanism, an escrow agreement has both pros and cons, so it is important to know how it works if a practical need arises. And in modern conditions, escrow is becoming increasingly popular.
Responsibility and remuneration of an escrow agent
The question of the responsibility of an escrow agent arises at different stages of the transaction, but the most difficult in terms of significance and evaluation of its actions is the stage of checking the deposited property during the transfer to the beneficiary. Almost the whole part of the transaction depends on the competence and impartiality of the escrow agent, since the decision on the fulfillment of the conditions by the depositor is made by the escrow agent independently, although the contractual requirements are taken into account. But any contract leaves a field for interpretations.
Before learning about the Club opportunities for vacation, I faced an offer to buy a flat in the UAE. I liked the idea, cost and location of the proposed property. I became the full owner of a two-room apartment. Even when I was in the process of purchase of the apartment, I was immediately offered the option of transferring the purchased flat to the trust management of a special company, which for the agreed interest assumed the responsibility for renting my flat for the periods when we did not plan to be in Dubai. Everything seemed logical and economically feasible. High cost of rental housing in Dubai promised a pleasant benefit. However, it turned out that there was a small nuance, the importance of which I realized immediately when I received the first estimate for utility bills for the flat. Emirates is an amazing country with its pace of development and high standard of living, but it also has high utility bills for non-residents. This country has experienced a boom in the purchase of real estate by foreigners, but many caught it on this "hook" with utility costs, information on which was not provided to me in full when buying a flat. As a result, the amount of profit was several times less than expected and the return on investment lasted for 25 years. But, on the other hand, it is this experience that allowed me to appreciate the offer made to me by Alliance Family Club. Along with the cost that paid off in just a few years of our family travels with the Club, I liked how clearly information about the management fee was provided. Having become the owner of the preferred share of "Global Actual Services", I was also able to participate and control club expenses for the maintenance of apartments. Now I understand and realize the economic validity of such set of dimensions of managerial contributions. I can enjoy my holidays indefinitely in different parts of the world, paying utility bills only for the time that I use.
