Generally, lenders only allow escrow of repairs, landscaping, etc. The type of escrow you are asking for could possibly cloud the title for the lender, and they might not be willing to take the risk. This is a question you need to pose to your lender. In the end, it is up to them anyway as to whether or not they will allow that type of escrow.
I did it once with a title company that I had a relationship with. It was for a $15,000 judgement lien with a Statute of limitation to expire 18 months after closing. Unless it a sufficient sum, there is a pending Statute of limitations which will run in a couple of years, and you do sufficient business with the title company for them to accommodate you, it isn’t going to happen.
