A. Any deposit made in connection with the purchase or reservation of a cooperative interest from a person required to deliver a public offering statement pursuant to subsection C of § 55-477 shall be placed in escrow and held either in this Commonwealth or in the state where the unit which is a part of that cooperative interest is located in an account designated solely for that purpose by a title insurance company, attorney or real estate broker licensed under the laws of this Commonwealth, an independent bonded escrow company or an institution whose accounts are insured by a governmental agency or instrumentality until: (i) delivered to the declarant at closing; (ii) delivered to the declarant because of purchaser's default under a contract to purchase the cooperative interest; or (iii) refunded to the purchaser.
B. Any deposit made in connection with the purchase of a cooperative interest from a person not required to deliver a public offering statement shall be placed in escrow in the same manner as prescribed in subsection A of this section. Upon receipt of the certificate called for in § 55-484, should the purchaser elect to void the contract, the seller may deduct the actual charges by the association for preparation of the certificate. Otherwise, the deposit shall be promptly returned to the purchaser.
