Escrow & TitleIntermediateColorado Exam

In Colorado, 'good funds' laws for real estate closings require that all funds be:

ADeposited in cash only
BAvailable and irrevocable (wire transfers or certified checks) so that the closing can proceed and funds can be disbursedCorrect
CDeposited at least 5 business days before closing
DHeld in a federally insured account for 30 days before disbursement, though outcomes can differ depending on circumstances

Why Available and irrevocable (wire transfers or certified checks) so that the closing can proceed and funds can be disbursed Is Correct

Answer B: Available and irrevocable (wire transfers or certified checks) so that the closing can proceed and funds can be disbursed

Colorado's good funds requirements ensure that all funds needed to close a transaction are available (collected and irrevocable) before the title company disburses funds, records the deed, and completes the closing. This protects all parties from checks that might not clear.

Exam Tip: Escrow & Title

Escrow questions test the neutral third-party role and the sequence of closing events. Remember that the escrow agent acts as a dual agent for both buyer and seller and cannot advocate for either side.
