Frequently Asked Questions About Title Insurance and Title Services
Question: Do I need to get title insurance to refinance my property?
Answer: When you refinance a property, the lender will often order a title search whether or not they get a loan title policy. That often depends on whether or not they are the current holder of the mortgage. Even if the refinance mortgagee is the current lender, the lender might want a loan title policy or a title search telling the lender what’s happened on the property from the time the lender did the first loan until now.
