Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

There should have been an escrow agreement that spelled out the exact items you were supposed to repair. If you have furnished receipts for all of those repairs, you would be entitled to have the funds released.

Escrow agents will not release escrowed funds unless all parties agree in writing. They must do this to protect themselves from liability for wrongly disbursing the money.

Speak to the escrow agent. It should have been the title insurance company, because that's the party with the responsibility for disbursing all of the proceeds of the sale. It can tell you what it requires in order to release the money to you.

This response is not legal advice, since I do not have all of the information that would be required, and I do not have a representation agreement with you.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
