Qualified Escrow Account
Qualified Escrow Account
An escrow account, wherein the escrow agent (QI) is not the exchangor or a disqualified person and that limits the Exchangors rights to receive, pledge, borrow or otherwise obtain the benefits of the tax-deferred, like-kind exchange cash balance and/or other assets from the sale of the relinquished property in compliance with the Treasury Regulations. The Qualified Escrow Account also ensures that the exchangor’s exchange funds and/or assets are held as fiduciary funds and are therefore protected against claims from potential creditors of the Qualified Intermediary.
