(a) In any case in which a licensee hereunder is entrusted
with, or receives and accepts, or otherwise holds, deposit moneys
or other trust moneys, of whatever kind or nature, or instruments
representing the same, concerning transactions involving real
estate within the State of Maryland, such moneys or instruments,
in the absence of proper written instructions to the contrary,
shall be expeditiously deposited in an account in a financial
institution located within Maryland whose deposits are insured by
either the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal
Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union
Administration, the Maryland State Savings-Share Insurance
Corporation, or the Maryland Credit Union Insurance Corporation
maintained by the broker as a separate account for funds
belonging to others. [These] EXCEPT AS PROVIDED UNDER SUBSECTION

terminated, or until proper written instructions have been
received by the broker directing the withdrawal and other

promptly and fully accounted for by the broker. A licensee
hereunder may not commingle any funds with his own or use any
funds for any purpose other than the purpose for which the funds
were entrusted to him.
