June 3, 2022      <br>

 <br>

I’m not sure what is meant by “establishing a trust.” But, I don’t think it’s reasonable to require that the parties “establish a trust” to hold potential funds before a home is even listed.  <br>

 <br>

Ordinarily, parties sell the home and when there are actually proceeds, then the parties most commonly 1) deposit the funds into a trust account established for the benefit of the parties (which can be opened by one of the lawyers), or 2) if there is already a known distribution or the determination is very close, the funds are held by the escrow company involved in the real estate transaction. The escrow company follows the written instructions of the parties.  In the latter case, I don’t think escrow has an obligation to put the funds in an interest bearing account.<br>

 <br>

If the parties don’t mind incurring the cost to retain a neutral third party to act as an escrow and to disburse the funds according to the parties’ mutual written instructions or order of the court, they can do that.<br>

 <br>

If the divorce action has already been filed, the court won’t order that the house be sold prior to a final determination on property issues unless there is an actual need (like they can’t afford to make the mortgage payments and selling is the only way to preserve the asset.)  If there is a written agreement to sell, they can enter into a stipulation approved by the court in the form of an agreed order that<br>

 <br>

1) once the house sells and there are proceeds, that<br>

2) a trust account must be established for the benefit of the parties to hold the proceeds until distribution ordered by the court order mutual agreement of the parties.<br>

 3) it should say who shall be responsible for establishing the account (should be one party’s counsel – let the difficult party have their own lawyer do it) and<br>

4) require that monthly statements be provided to the party whose lawyer doesn’t control the trust account.<br>

 <br>

If the parties have no lawyer, they can enter into a stipulation and agreed order for a blocked account in the name of both parties which instructs the back to make no disbursals absent mutual written instructions by the parties or order of the court.<br>

 <br>

This way, difficult spouse will have the assurance that there is a procedure in place without requiring the establishment of an account before there is even anything to put in it.<br>
