Escrowee

/ˌɛskroʊˈiː/ noun

Definition

The person or party who receives funds or documents held in escrow; the beneficiary of an escrow arrangement.

Etymology

From escrow plus the -ee suffix (indicating the recipient or beneficiary of an action), following the pattern of lessor/lessee or employer/employee.

Kelly Says

The -ee suffix is super productive in English for creating 'receiver' words—the escrowee is whoever benefits when the escrow agent finally releases the money, which happens when conditions are met.
