All parties should execute a written agreement to have interest accrue on the deposit and specify to whose benefit the interest is accruing.  The account must be insured and maintained in Florida.  When it comes time to disburse the principal amount being held in escrow, the funds must be transferred into a non-interest bearing account and disbursed from the non-interest bearing account.
