What is the act of mixing a purchaser's deposit with other funds called?

Misappropriation
Commingling
Conversion
Mismanagement

The correct answer is: Commingling

The act of mixing a purchaser's deposit with other funds is known as commingling. This practice is problematic as it can lead to a lack of accountability regarding the handling of client funds. In the context of timeshares or real estate transactions, it is essential that deposits and other client funds are kept separate from the business's operating funds or personal accounts of the agent. This segregation is crucial for protecting the interests of the purchaser and ensuring that their funds are available for their intended purpose, which ultimately reinforces trust and accountability in financial dealings. Misappropriation typically refers to the unauthorized taking or use of someone else's property or funds for personal use, while conversion involves taking someone else's property and using it as if it were one's own, often leading to legal ramifications. Mismanagement generally refers to the poor handling of a business or financial situation but does not specifically address the act of mixing funds like commingling does. Therefore, commingling accurately defines the specific action in question.
