If you are a recipient parent, you have probably done your homework and have selected a clinic to use to help you find an egg donor. But how do you ensure that your money is protected and that your donor receives payment in full and on time? One way is by using escrow management services to handle payments.
Egg donor escrow services are essential to having a successful experience, especially if things don’t go as planned. This guide will explain why and how to use escrow management services for egg donation to keep your hard-earned money safe!
What is an escrow account?
An escrow account, in simple terms, is a special type of account set up to hold funds so a third party can make payments on your behalf. An escrow account is created to pay out a specific amount of money at certain times based on certain conditions.
In your egg donation process, you’ll need an escrow account to hold your money and release payments when specific requirements in your egg donor agreement are met. A third party acts as custodian of these funds until they’re disbursed, depending on predetermined guidelines and rules included in your egg donor agreement.
Why do you need escrow fund management services for egg donation?
Using a third party to manage your escrow account protects everyone’s money until the egg donation journey is complete.
As an egg donor, it’s important to be sure you’re paid on time and in accordance with your contract.
As a recipient parent, allowing a third party to manage the funds removes all the stress and worry of making sure everyone involved is paid on time and your money is protected from loss. Since there are many expenses associated with egg donation, it’s also important to be certain that your money is going where it is supposed to go.
That’s where an escrow management account comes in: an escrow fund manager holds your funds until specific qualifications are met for payment. The escrow fund manager then makes payments on your behalf using the funds available in the escrow account.
Escrow companies don’t just keep your money safe; they also make it possible to be in control of your money. Donor egg recipients will benefit from SeedTrust’s meticulous record keeping, open communication, and complete transparency through every step of the egg donation process.
How does an egg donor escrow account lower risk?
It’s important to choose a company with experience managing funds for egg donation arrangements, not just any escrow agent or attorney. You want to be certain that they are familiar with the laws surrounding egg donor agreements and that every disbursement is checked against your contract before any payments are made.
The team of legal and financial experts at SeedTrust reviews every disbursement request. Every disbursement must have proper supporting documentation and correspond to the express provisions contained in the Parties’ underlying contract.
