About OAK ESCROW, INC.
OAK ESCROW, INC. is an escrow company serving buyers, sellers and real estate professionals in Glendale, Los Angeles County, California. Escrow holds the funds and documents for a sale, clears the conditions in the purchase contract, and records the transfer once every requirement is met — including the seller's natural hazard disclosure.
Los Angeles County runs the full range of NHD-relevant exposure: Alquist-Priolo earthquake fault zones along the San Andreas, Newport-Inglewood and Sierra Madre faults, Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones through Malibu and the foothill communities, and liquefaction zones along the coastal plain and harbor. See how fire hazard severity zones affect disclosure. Mello-Roos and 1915 Act assessments show up mostly in newer master-planned pockets of the Santa Clarita and Antelope Valleys — older, built-out LA neighborhoods rarely carry one.
Verity NHD delivers California Natural Hazard Disclosure reports billed directly to OAK ESCROW, INC. — no setup, no card — with eSign included. Order the report now, and the invoice goes to the escrow officer on the file to settle at closing.

Common questions in Glendale
- What's the biggest natural hazard disclosure concern in Los Angeles County?
- Los Angeles County runs the full range of NHD-relevant exposure: Alquist-Priolo earthquake fault zones along the San Andreas, Newport-Inglewood and Sierra Madre faults, Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones through Malibu and the foothill communities, and liquefaction zones along the coastal plain and harbor. That's the kind of county-level context the statutory NHD report is built to surface for buyers.
- Does escrow need to do anything to order the report?
- No — the agent or transaction coordinator can place the order and have it billed straight to the escrow file; escrow just confirms the invoice at closing.
- What happens if a hazard disclosure is missing at closing?
- An incomplete disclosure file is one of the more common reasons a close gets delayed at the last minute, since the buyer's right to review hazard disclosures runs from when they're delivered, not from when escrow opened.
- Can the NHD report be e-signed?
- Yes — every Verity NHD report includes eSign, so the disclosure can go out and come back signed without a separate signature platform.
