In the event that all funds / property for your transaction have been released, the escrow agreement will have been fulfilled and this will mark the end of the escrow services being provided. At this point the escrow service provider normally confirms to all parties that the funds / property have been released and that the matter is concluded.
If at any point during your transaction you wish to end the escrow services being provided to you (but before all of the funds / property have been released), how you proceed will depend on what stage you are at in the process. If you have not yet signed the escrow agreement you will most likely just need to email your escrow service provider to let them know that you no longer wish to go ahead with their services. If you have signed an engagement letter, ensure that you have checked the terms to see if there is a specific termination procedure you need to follow and if you will be liable for any outstanding fees.
If you have already signed the escrow agreement, then you will need to check any termination clauses included in the escrow agreement. The termination clauses will explain the steps you will need to take to terminate the escrow agreement with your chosen escrow service provider. As the agreement will, in most cases be held between multiple parties, they will all need to agree to terminate the services being provided, before the escrow service provider can cease to provide them.
