Under these circumstances, once a title company interpleads the deposit, then the deposit is just going to sit there (unless it’s a large amount) because it, most likely, will not be worth the cost in attorney fees in trying to get the money. Maybe it’s a matter if artful pleading. I wonder if the result would have be the same if Buyer had pled that Seller breached the contract either by not delivering the property in the manner represented or by refusing to return the money.
