Title insurance rates vary depending on if the transaction is a purchase or a refinance
Yes, virtually all lenders' underwriting requirements call for lender's title insurance for a refinance.
Lender's title insurance is important in the refinance process because it protects the lender from financial loss due to any title issues that may arise with the property. This insurance ensures that the lender's investment in the property is secure and helps to prevent any potential legal disputes that could affect the refinance transaction.
In many states, there is a discounted refinance rates for the premium. Ask the title insurance agent who is doing the new Mortgage Policy if you qualify for a discount. There are no discounts that I know of, on an Owner's Policy, since when a new Owner's Policy issued, it means the property and chain of title, has transferred hands.
Yes. You must either pay off the home equity loan separately or with the refinance, or you must request that your home equity lender "subordinate" your loan. This means they sign a written and recorded agreement that allows your new first mortgage to be recorded on title in place of the old one and the home equity lender agrees to state "subordinate" to the new first. Your refinance loan officer or title company can make this request for you.
The refinancing of property is a new loan, unless you are getting a mortgage modification. When the old loan is paid off, the MORTGAGE Policy on the title expires. The lender, regardless of whether is it the same lender or not, will require new coverage on the new loan. If you are doing a modifcation, then the rate would be figured on the difference of the new loan to the old loan amount + all related costs to update the information on the property in order to insure the lender's interests. The OWNER's policy you may have received when you bought the property does not change because of a new mortgage. You are still covered by the Owner's policy until (a) you no longer own the property (b) you modify the property by subdivision. Original Answer: In a nutshell, yes. The charge may be reduced if you provide your prior evidence of title. You may also request a "reissue rate" for the title insurance premium. However, the title company must still search the public records from the time you acquired the property up to the time of the refinance, and there is a charge for that service, as well as for the closing, title insurance premium, etc.

Typically insurance companys do not request to see the title when insuring a vehicle, however you could run into trouble if an accident, specifically a total loss occurs, because they will not be able to make (final) payment on the claim without this. Why not file for a lost title now?

NO! That is why they have escrow, title insurance, etc. The lender will not give a dime if all owners are not on the refinance application. A thorough title search will reval your name on the property. Email me through info@usconsumerpros.com

Cosigner just means someone who guaranteed the note. What's on the title? If the cosigner is on the title, he/she is entitled to half of the proceeds of a sale or insurance liquidation because it's the TITLE that determines the ownership, not who paid for it.
Yes, title companies will insure a Mortgage Modification. Basically, new loan docs will be drawn by the lender, reflecting the new loan amount and terms. The transaction is executed the same as a refinance.

Most insurance companies will not need a copy of the title. That's because we generally have our own means of verifying the title and ownership. If the company does request a copy of your title it is usually because when they went to verify the vehicle information with the state, it came back as a mismatch or a no hit.
