California escrow release records

Every disbursement decision should leave a file-ready record.

Veto captures what changed, what was checked, what stayed open, and who signed off before funds moved. Escrow teams keep the release authority. The file keeps the proof.

Record anatomy

What has to be visible before release.

Change evidence

What changed, how the instruction arrived, and why it triggered review.

Check evidence

Each check, the result, and any limitation still in effect at release time.

Decision evidence

Office action, named reviewer, timestamp, and immutable hash in one place.

Gap evidence

Open items stay visible so post-close questions can be answered from the file.

How it works

Capture the review as the file moves.

  1. Open one disbursement review record for the file.
  2. Attach instruction source and run your office checks.
  3. Record results, limitations, and any unresolved gaps.
  4. Sign and preserve the release decision with timestamp and hash.

Escrow offices already do the review. Make the file prove it.

Veto records the review. It does not approve, authorize, or release funds. Your office remains the release authority.
