Bus/Financial - Law (general)
Swedish term or phrase: Notariatkonto
I would call a Notariatkonto a "Trust Account"

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...

BrE/ CanE: notarial (deposit) stakeholder account


Explanation:
Trust (department) account, Gullberg.

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.

Example sentence(s):
