Description
1 Victoria Black agreed to sell her interest in a house jointly owned by her and her former husband in return for half of the equity, as per a marital settlement agreement. The former husband went to a lender to refinance the house, presumably to obtain liquidity in the equity, and the closing on the refinance took place before Metro Title, Inc. as escrow agent. After Victoria signed the quitclaim deed, Metro refused to pay her one half of the equity. She left the closing, and her former husband Gunnard Black apparently received the full amount of the equity. Then he squandered most of it. Victoria now claims that Metro was negligent in its duties as an escrow agent and owes her damages. But she has not shown that she was a party to the agency, and Metros summary judgment affidavit, undisputed by Victoria, is that Victoria was only an incidental beneficiary. An escrow holder is an agent and fiduciary of only the parties to the escrow. We affirm the summary judgment in favor of Metro.
