If the house you're selling is in escrow and you just found out you have a judgment against you can you have that money held in a SAFE account while you fight it in court?

If you have a recorded judgment against you, that showed up upon the title search, when you opened up a sales escrow, the amount of the judgment times two will be held by the title company. If not using a title company, but someone else, the answer would be the same.

The total balance in escrow is shown on a company's balance sheet at the end of every period, either as a liability or in a section between liabilities and equity.

In this way, the escrow funds are both an asset and a liability in the company and are a "wash."
