Who pays the title opinion in real estate?
The title opinion is a written statement confirming the ownership rights of the property. Both the buyer and the buyers lender need to know that the seller is in a position to convey the property. Since the attorney prepares the title opinion on the buyers behalf it's the buyer who pays for it. (This would be considered a closing cost on the buyer's side).
Can Title Insurance be negotiated?
If you live in a state that does not regulate the fees/premiums, then a title agency may be willing to negotiate the costs of the premiums. Or, they may be able to negotiate some of the fees, like searches/abstracts, copy fees, etc. If you live in a regulated states, all fees or some fees may be overseen by that State's Department of Insurance and whatever are the state-regulated fees MUST be charged. It would be illegal to over-charge or under-charge the fees. A Buyer and Seller can negotiate freely as to who pays what fees of the title insurance costs. In some states, tradionally a seller pays for the Owner's Policy and the Buyer pays for the loan policy covering their mortgage. In other states the seller pays for all fees and in others, the buyer pays. However, there are no laws as to who pays for what, therefore, between the buyer and seller, it is always open to negotiation.
Can you provide an estimate for an Abstract of Title versus full Title Insurance for a 130000 dollar house in Florida?
An Abstract of Title in Florida could be as little as $200, depending on what the title company or agent was willing to charge, however this would not provide you with any title insurance, only a report what was found on a title search of the property. Meanwhile, if you wanted title insurance you should compare several title insurance companies because they will be charging for the title search, closing fees and probably several other fees in addition to the actual title insurance policy. The Florida promulgated rate for an owners title insurance policy is $725.00 for a $130,000 house. Please remember you will be comparing more than just the policy rate, which may have some applicable credits depending on your situation. You may qualify for a reissue credit if you are refinancing, and you should get several quotes on an "out the door" price when comparing title insurance.

Can an abstract of title supplant title insurance particularly for a one owner home built in 2004 in Florida?
In modern days, an abstract of title is usually the title examination/search. Simply reading the title and giving a report on the condition of the title is not the same as buying title insurance coverage for a mortgage or owner policy. In earlier history of title, an abstract of title was the report on title that was handed down from owner to owner (this is before they started recording every transaction in the county/city records). If the house was build 2004, it is unlikely that it has an actual Abstract of Title with it. But here again, the abstract would simply be part of the "history" of the property and not actual insurance to cover the new owner. You need to buy a new Mortgage Policy each time you get a new loan and a new owner would need a new Owner Policy whenever the property is transferred to protect their interest. The abstract or report on title is not the same as actually insuring the title with an Owner's or Mortgage Title Insurance Policy. The only way to modify COVERAGE of title insurance is through a policy. Simply providing a new abstract or report on title does not provide supplimental coverage to an existing policy regardless of what state you are in. If you want title insurance, a policy has to be issued. If you just want to know the current status or history of title, a title report or abstract can be used. They are not one and the same. An abstract or report on title, is simply that, just a report, not insurance. == Answer & Clarification== An abstract of title is a short history of the title to LAND. It is compiled by a professional title examiner from the public land records. It should contain a summary of all conveyances, transfers, probates, judicial proceedings or any other facts relied on as evidence of the owner's title. It should contain any encumbrances, such as easement rights and ROWs, that the land is subject to or has as appurtenant. It should contain any outstanding liens. It should show the quality of the title and the quantity of the land. It does NOT matter when the house was built. The abstract of title shows the title to the land not the house. The period that must be covered by the title abstract for title certification purposes varies from state to state. In Massachusetts it must cover 50 years. If the house was built one year ago or thirty years ago the title must be examined for a period of 50 years. In Connecticut that period is 40 years. Generally, the title insurance policy incorporates the information disclosed by the title abstract.
What is the difference between a chain of title report and a title abstract?

The abstract of title, or title abstract, reflects all transactions, including deeds, mortgages, rights of way, easements, tax liens, court cases, judgments, etc., that affect title to the property from the earliest date of public records to a current date.
