S 4323 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Enacts the uniform special deposits act

This bill would establish standardized rules for "special deposits" in New York, such as escrow accounts for real estate transactions or security deposits held by banks. It defines key terms (like "beneficiary" and "contingency") and sets clear requirements for banks handling these accounts, including when they must pay beneficiaries and how creditors can access funds. The law ensures these deposits are protected from creditor claims until specific conditions are met, aligning New York with similar uniform laws in other states. It applies to banks and their customers using these specialized accounts, without altering existing deposit rules.
