Section 356-A:9-a Escrow of Deposits.
Any deposit made in regard to any disposition of a lot, parcel, unit or interest in subdivided lands shall be held in escrow until settlement or closing. Such escrow funds shall be deposited in a separate account designated for this purpose; provided, however, if such funds are being held by a real estate broker or attorney licensed under the laws of this state, they may be placed in that broker's or attorney's regular escrow account and need not be placed in a separate designated account. Such escrow funds shall not be subject to attachment by the creditors of either the purchaser or the subdivider.
