Aircraft Buyer's Checklist

Step 9:   Arrange Final Payment
At this point you will wire transfer the remaining balance due on the aircraft.

If you have arranged for financing, the Seller will need to send the financing company all the required documents including the signed bill of sale. Once they receive the closing documents they will need your authorization to disburse funds.

If you are using an escrow service, the escrow company will prepare the closing documents including the Bill of Sale. The seller will send signed documents to the escrow company and you will need to wire transfer them full payment of the aircraft. All parties will be advised when all required documents and funds have been received. Funds will remain in escrow until you give final authorization for disbursement.
