New Hampshire HB1591 mandates the prompt release of escrowed funds by the judicial branch to entitled parties following final court orders.
New Hampshire HB1591 establishes procedures for the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) to promptly disburse funds or property held in escrow, registry, or trust by the judicial branch to parties entitled to such funds under a final, non-appealable court order. The AOC must complete disbursements within 30 days of receiving the final court order. If the AOC fails to disburse funds within this period without lawful cause, the entitled party may apply to the superior court for an order directing immediate release and awarding reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred to obtain.
