Can a servicer of your mortgage set up an escrow at anytime?

Friends house is almost in foreclosure. Can the servicer of the loan go and pay the property taxes and then set up an escrow account? They had been paying the taxes and insurance on their own, so their loan papers had no escrow account set up.
