Subject: [WSBARP] Earnest Money Interpleader Question

Every earnest money dispute I've been involved with was settled prior to being sent to interpleader...until now.  I was wondering if someone out there has experience with the process of an interpleader action pertaining to an earnest money dispute.

I understand the escrow company is the plaintiff, and the buyer and seller are the defendants in the initial interpleader action.  Is the case then completely adjudicated in that action, or is another complaint by the buyer/seller necessary to adjudicate disposition of funds?
