A method of proving a deed by two subscribing witnesses.
Correct Answer
B. The placement of an instrument with a depository to be delivered to a third person upon a designated event.
AI Explanation
Escrow describes conditional delivery, not present completion. In "Definitions and General Terms," escrow is the placing of an instrument in the hands of a person as depository who, on the happening of a designated event, is to deliver the instrument to a third person. Not to be confused with immediate delivery or recording, the escrow agreement is described as unalterable once established.
