Which rule governs the forms escrow holders draw?

• A. California Bar Association
• B. Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
• C. American Escrow Association.
• D. Rule of the bar treaty.

Answer: (D)

The rule governing how escrow holders draw forms comes from the Bar’s rules. These rules set the official procedures and approved forms used for disbursements from an escrow account, ensuring that every draw complies with fiduciary duties, proper authorization, and uniform, ethically sound practices. That authoritative framework comes from the Bar, not from a trade association or a historical treaty. The other options don’t provide the regulatory authority for escrow disbursement forms: a professional organization like the American Escrow Association offers guidance but not binding rules; a historical treaty is unrelated to modern escrow practice; and a state bar organization with a generic name isn’t the official regulatory source for these forms.
