[Kristina Driessen]

That was my thoughts too, not sure what is the property course given the warrant.

I agree on the interpleader, but where?  I suppose in the County where the property is located.  Federal or superior court?

I have a situation whereas an escrow company closed on a home, after closing but before the proceeds were disbursed they received a Warrant to Seize the Proceeds. The warrant is from the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii. The FBI obtained the warrant. The proceed amount is large.

While I have reason to believe the warrant is valid, I question the timing. They want her to hand over the proceeds without disbursing according the escrow instructions. I don't want to create liability to the parties. Would it be better to instruct the escrow company to interplead the sums?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
