Description

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'escrow funds' may be referred to colloquially as 'fondos en garantía' in some contexts, but it is important to use the canonical term for clarity. This term is commonly used in financial transactions, so interpreters should ensure they maintain a formal register when interpreting discussions around it.

Example Sentences

EN: The buyer deposited the escrow funds to ensure the seller would fulfill the contract terms.

ES: El comprador depositó los fondos en custodia para asegurar que el vendedor cumpliera con los términos del contrato.
