E Monument will prepare a memorandum transmitting the agreement and deeds to the escrow company to initiate the escrow due diligence process. Escrow Coordination. After an offer is accepted and the purchase agreement is approved by the City, Monument's Escrow Coordinator will transmit the original documents to the escrow company and request that the title company send an updated Preliminary Title Report. The Escrow Coordinator will review the updated title report and prepare a memorandum of disapproved title exceptions. The escrow company will prepare escrow instructions, transmit a copy of the purchase contract to the title company and begin the process of satisfying all monetary liens, prorating taxes and clearing adverse title exceptions and encumbrances. Upon escrow's request for funds from the City, the estimated closing amount will be deposited in escrow, and upon close, the escrow holder will record a deed and issue a title insurance policy. The Escrow Coordinator will provide ongoing support to the escrow officer to ensure the timely execution of escrow instructions, coordination of title clearance documents and processing of wire transfers. Escrow closure generally will be accomplished in 30 to 60 days. Condemnation Support. In the event negotiations are unsuccessful and the Acquisition Agent recommends that an administrative settlement is not feasible or project timing requires use of the eminent domain process, the Project Managerwill submit a recommendation to the City to initiate condemnation proceedings. The Monument Team will work closely with the City's condemnation counsel in preparing the resolution hearing notices, providing a duplicate copy of the agent's acquisition file, and assist in the eminent domain complaint and in trial preparation as requested. Settlement negotiations by legal staff may continue until the trial begins, including alternative dispute resolution and negotiations for Stipulated Use and Possession to ensure access to the property consistent with project schedules.
