# Earnest Money Release Instruction Evidence

Check release paperwork against documented deposit ownership and review scope before any funds instruction.

## Scope
Preparation and review only. No account action or professional decision.

## Inputs
Property/contract IDs, deposit receipt, escrow holder, signed release documents, party names and local professional instructions.

## Workflow
1. Match receipt and release to the same transaction and parties.
2. Separate deposit receipt from authority to release money.
3. Record signatures and unresolved conditions without interpreting disputed contract rights.
4. Return documentary gaps for licensed/legal review; no transfer or payment instruction.

## Output contract
transaction | deposit_receipt | holder | release_document | signatures | disputed_condition | review

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional receipt confirms 5000 held in escrow but release form lacks one required party signature under supplied instructions. Receipt does not authorize refund. No bank details are used or changed.

## Review gates
Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
