Swedish term
Notariatkonto
However I see here (in a glossary from a linguist I trust and respect) that they translate a Notariatkonto to "escrow account"
https://www.proz.com/personal-glossaries/entry/1643270-escro... om
So my question is, what term would be most familiar to a English speaking Swedish lawyer, "escrow account" or "Trust Account"?
--
Or maybe that is not the right question to ask here.
Maybe I should ask does a Notary have a general "Trust Account" or are they restricted to what is known as "escrow accounts"
Yes, both types of accounts are similar (in legal terms and ownership of the funds), but they are not the same...

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

BrE/ CanE: notarial (deposit) stakeholder account
Really, the purpose of this account in the specific instance needs (to) be spelled out, but IMO escrow a/c is a misnomer in an Anglo-Irish conveyancing and a non-US banking and escrow recordation scenario.
Escrow means holding of docs. and deeds. subject to a condition that needs (to) be fulfilled on mortgage or conveyancing etc. completion. An 'escrow account' in our City of London law firm's conveyancing dept. would have meant a list of such papers.
In UK real estate terms, stakeholder is a species of 'trustee' v.s bailee of goods and who holds a deposit, either as agent for one side (buyer or seller) or neither.

Discussion
From what I find today, SEB offers notariatkonto services to private individuals. References seems hard to come by, but this one (below) indicates that such an account is under the control of the individual who 'owns' the funds and nobody else (or no other entity).
So, I'd say ... not an escrow account. Some kind of special savings account from the discussion in the reference, but I can't help with a suggestion for what it actually means in English. Sorry! ;-)
