The board is authorized to enter into escrow agreements with the purchaser for the payment of anticipated taxes and hazard insurance premiums, or for the payment of life insurance premiums in cases where the board requires a life insurance policy to cover the unpaid balance of the indebtedness.
All funds collected as escrow items for the benefit of the veteran as insurance premiums, taxes, appraisal fees, and other funds belonging to the veteran, and not the state revolving fund, shall be maintained and accounted for separately from the special revolving fund, although the receipt of such funds may be commingled with installment payments or other payments to the board. The board shall establish separate accounts and trusteeships for this purpose exclusive of requirements that agencies of the state commingle funds into one (1) state treasury account. Interest earned on such deposits shall accrue to the state revolving fund of the board, and shall be paid to the revolving fund annually.
