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.

Is the buyer or seller responsible for title insurance?
Here in California, it is a matter of local custom. In Southern California, typically the seller agrees to purchase the owners policy for the buyer, the buyer supplies the title insurance for the lender. In Northern California, the buyer typically pays for both policies. It is, however, a matter that is covered in the contract between the seller and buyer and is negotiable, as is everything else. All closing costs can be negotiated as part of the sales contract. Who pays for title insurance varies from state to state based on local custom, but can be negotiated between the buyer and seller as part of the sales contract. There are no laws providing for either party to be required to pay. In the case where the seller has elected to pay title expenses, the buyer needs to make sure that the Lender has approved those fees to be paid by the seller. Some types of mortgages require that the buyer/borrower have a certain amount of funds available for the closing fees and may "cap" what fees can or cannot be paid by the seller in behalf of the buyer.

Who pays for title insurance in Lee county Florida?
A: The question of who pays the Title insurance is always negotiable and can be worked in to the real estate sales contract to assign this cost to either buyer or seller. As for a refinance, although the buyer tradionally pays, if you are doing a loan modification of your exhisting loan, most often an additional title policy is not required depending on the loan. The borrower (owner) pays for the title insurance on a Mortgage Policy when they are doing a refinance. As to who pays for the Owner's Title insurance on a purchase is strictly negotiable between buyer and seller. It can be negotiated as part of the terms of sale. In some states, typically the seller pays, since they have the burden of proof of good, clear, marketable title. In other states, the buyer pays. It is rather based on the "lay of the land" of which is the normal way of doing buiness in your particular state. In many states, the seller pays for the searches done on the property he is selling and the buyer pays the premium and other fees for the actual insurance coverage. However, there are no laws concerning who is responsible to pay for the title insurance or the title searches. Who ultimately pays for what specific fees should be negotiated from the beginning. If the buyer agrees to pay all fees, the buyer takes the financial burden and risk of paying for search fees on a property that may have serious title issues making it extremely difficult to sell, which the seller may have already known about but did not disclose. Therefore, it is always a good idea to ask for a copy of the Seller's "back title", the Owner's Policy that was issued to the seller when they bought it.
Who pays for title insurance in Wisconsin?
Seller or buyer can pay for the title insurance. Whatever is mutually acceptable by both parties. In some states, the buyer always pays the entire fees. In other states, the seller always pays the entire fees. However, this can always be negotiated. I have seen split fees where the seller will pay for the searches and the buyer pays all premium, recording and incidental charges. Many sellers elect to have a Title Report (no insurance, just information) run on the property when they put it up for sale so there will be no surprises later on. If the buyer uses the same title agency for the sale, typically the title agency will not charge full search fees, instead applying what the seller has already paid for the Report, towards the final title closing fees. Therefore, the fees are negotiable and usually follow the standard practice for the area where you live.

Practices may vary in different jurisdictions. Generally the buyer's attorney arranges to have the title examined and the buyer pays the fee as part of their closing costs. However, if a title defect is disclosed and further research and corrective work must be done those costs are shifted to the seller. The issue could also be negotiated whereby the title exam cost is paid by the seller.
