DomainEscrow.com and JJN Solutions Law, PLLCDomain Name Transfer Service
Secure transaction management. JJN Solutions Law, PLLC provides professional and secure transfer services designed specifically for domain name transactions — funds are held in a regulated trust account until every condition of the transaction has been met and verified.
Secure transaction management
Both sides protected,
start to finish
We facilitate secure transfers by holding funds in a regulated trust account until all conditions of the transaction are met and verified. Buyers and sellers are protected throughout the domain transfer process with direct communication, independent verification of domain ownership transfer, and prompt disbursement of funds upon successful completion.
Built for domain name transactions only
This service exists for one job: moving a domain name from a seller's registrar account to a buyer's registrar account while the money sits somewhere neither party can touch. No side deals, no guesswork, no "send it and hope."
Every transaction is administered by JJN Solutions Law, PLLC as a neutral intermediary, with the firm's funds-handling subject to attorney trust account rules.
The case for it
Why use this service
Five reasons buyers, sellers, and brokers route their domain transfers through a supervised process instead of trusting a stranger with a five-figure wire.
01
Security
Payment is held safely until the domain is officially transferred to the buyer.
02
Trust
Both buyer and seller are protected from fraud and non-performance.
03
Verification
Domain transfer completion is independently confirmed before funds are released.
04
Attorney supervision
The service is administered by a licensed law firm and its funds-handling is subject to attorney trust account rules.
05
Structured dispute process
A defined procedure applies if a disagreement arises, with funds held until it is resolved.

Recurring arrangements
Lease-to-own and straight lease
Domain leases are supported alongside outright purchases, with pricing set out below.
| Transaction type | Fee |
|---|---|
| Lease-to-own | Service fee per the schedule above, plus a 1.9% administration fee included in each monthly payment |
| Straight lease | $395 flat setup fee, plus 3.5% of each monthly lease payment |
No prepayment penalty
On a lease-to-own, the lessee may pay the remaining balance in full at any time without additional charge. The maximum lease-to-own term is 48 months.
What a straight lease is not
Under a straight lease, no ownership interest transfers to the lessee. All rights revert to the domain owner at the end of the term.
Funds coming in
Payment method fees
These fees are charged by the financial institutions processing your payment and are in addition to the service fee and any monthly administration fee. They are the responsibility of the party initiating the payment.
| Payment method | Fee |
|---|---|
| Bank wire transfer (domestic and international) | $20 flat fee per wire |
| ACH (Automated Clearing House) | 1% of the transaction amount |
| Cryptocurrency (where the seller agrees to accept it) | Network fees borne by the sender |
| Debit / credit card | 2.9% |
| American Express | 3.5% |
Note on large transactions. Because the ACH fee is a percentage of the transaction amount, a wire transfer is normally the less expensive option on larger deals. We are happy to help you compare before you send funds.
Funds going out
Disbursement fees
Charged when we send funds out to a seller or broker, and deducted from that party's payout. These are separate from the payment method fees above, which apply to funds coming into escrow.
| Payout method | Fee |
|---|---|
| ACH | No fee |
| Bank wire transfer — domestic | $30 per transfer |
| Bank wire transfer — international | $40 per transfer |
| Cryptocurrency | Network fees borne by the recipient |
ACH payouts are free, and you can switch to ACH at any time. On a lease-to-own or straight lease the fee applies to each monthly disbursement, so choosing ACH on a 12-month arrangement saves $360 in wire fees. Tell us in writing before the next disbursement and we'll change it.
Who pays what
Buyer guidelines
The fee split is agreed up front and written into the transaction, so nobody discovers a surprise at closing.
Fees added to the purchase price
If the buyer has agreed to pay all or a portion of the transaction fee, the fee amount is added to the purchase price of the domain name, so the total transaction cost is clear upfront.
Recorded in your agreement
The party responsible for the fee is recorded in the Transaction Details section of your agreement, alongside the amount, the domain name, and the transfer arrangement.
Moving the money
Payment methods and disbursement options
How funds come into the trust account, and how they go out to the seller and broker once the transaction is verified.
Payment methods
- Bank wire transfer (domestic and international)
- ACH (Automated Clearing House)
- Debit and credit card
- Cryptocurrency, if the seller agrees to accept cryptocurrency and the buyer pays in cryptocurrency
Disbursement options
Once all applicable conditions of the transaction have been completed and verified, JJN Solutions will pay the seller and broker (if applicable) the next business day via:
- Bank wire transfer
- ACH (Automated Clearing House)
- Cryptocurrency, if the seller agrees to accept cryptocurrency and the buyer pays in cryptocurrency
If the seller or broker agrees to pay all or a portion of the transaction fee, the fee will be deducted from the applicable payout. Disbursement fees, where applicable, are also deducted from that same payout.
JJN
Your funds are held in trust with JJN Solutions Law, PLLC, a fiduciary law firm, until the transfer is verified and the deal is closed.
Who administers this service
The Domain Name Transfer Service is provided by JJN Solutions Law, PLLC, a licensed law firm. JJN Solutions holds transaction funds in its regulated attorney trust account and administers each transfer as a neutral intermediary. These are administrative and transaction-facilitation services rather than legal services.
What we do
Hold funds, verify that agreed conditions have been met, coordinate the movement of the domain between registrars, and disburse funds when the transaction completes.
What this is not
These services are not legal services and do not constitute the practice of law; using them does not create an attorney-client relationship with JJN Solutions Law, PLLC or its attorneys.
We are neutral
We do not advise any party on whether a transaction is advisable, whether the price is fair, or whether the terms serve that party's interest.
If a dispute arises
A defined procedure applies, and the funds stay in the trust account until the disagreement is resolved.
