3. How We Handle Closing Costs and Property Taxes

When it comes to closing costs and property taxes, Palm Title is transparent and accurate. We provide a detailed breakdown of all closing costs, including our fees, title insurance premiums, and any third-party charges. We also handle the settlement of any unpaid property taxes revealed during the title search. Our clients can rest assured knowing that all financial aspects of the closing process are handled with top-notch care and professionalism.

Refinancing: Title Insurance Process

Refinancing your property involves many steps, and one of the most important ones is securing title insurance. At Palm Title, we manage the title insurance process meticulously to protect both the lender and the homeowner. Title insurance is a one-time purchase, paid at closing.

To issue title insurance, we conduct a comprehensive title search to confirm the legal ownership of the property. This research not only verifies ownership, but it also uncovers any problems such as liens, judgments, or unpaid property taxes that could affect the refinance process. By identifying these issues early, we can address them before closing so they don’t delay or complicate the transaction.

Our Role in Issuing a Lender’s Policy

As part of the refinancing process, Palm Title issues a lender’s policy to protect the lender’s interests until the loan is fully paid off. This policy is essential for lenders as it protects their financial interest in the property and safeguards them against potential future claims on the property title, such as undisclosed liens, forgeries in the title chain, or defects in the public records.

Being an attorney-owned and operated title company, Palm Title has the legal expertise to handle the complexities of issuing a lender’s policy. We ensure that the policy is comprehensive and that every detail is accurate, providing lenders with the peace of mind they need to proceed with the refinance.

Why Choose Palm Title?

Palm Title distinguishes itself among the numerous title companies in the competitive South Florida marketplace by adopting a distinctive client-centric approach. We prioritize taking care of all the necessary background work and proactively contacting them only when essential so that our clients can have time to take care of their own clients.

In addition, our business model brings a high level of expertise and assurance to the closing process. With our commitment to operating under the guidance of experienced attorneys, every transaction is executed with the highest level of legal precision and professionalism, instilling confidence in our clients.

Refinancing Title Company FAQ

What is the average closing cost for refinancing in South Florida?

The average closing cost for refinancing in South Florida is typically around 1% to 3% of the loan amount. However, this can vary based on several factors, including the type of loan, the homeowner’s credit score, and the specific closing services required. At Palm Title, we strive to provide transparent and competitive pricing for all our closing services.

When you refinance, what happens to the title?

When you refinance, the title of the property goes through a review process, but it doesn’t change hands. The original lender is replaced by the new lender on the mortgage but not on the title. The title remains the same– in the name of the property owner(s). However, an updated title search is conducted to ensure that there are no new liens or issues that could affect the refinanced loan.

Can I refinance without being on the title?

Refinancing a property without being named on the title can be challenging. Being on the title establishes your legal ownership interest in the property, and lenders typically require all owners to be parties to the refinancing transaction. Palm Title conducts a title search to confirm this. If you’re not on the title and wish to refinance your loan, then it might be necessary to add your name to the title first.

When you refinance a home loan, does the title change?

Usually, the individual or entity listed on the title remains unchanged following a refinance. However, the lender’s name on the mortgage documents is typically updated to reflect the new lender, replacing the original one. In some cases, obtaining a new title insurance policy may be necessary to safeguard the interests of the new lender.

Who is at a refinance closing?

The refinance closing involves several parties. The homeowner (borrower), the new lender, and the title company are the primary parties present. The title company, like Palm Title, provides settlement services, handles the closing process, and ensures that all documents are in order, that funds are distributed correctly, and that the new loan is recorded. We also offer escrow services, holding the funds securely until all conditions for the transaction are met. The homeowner might also purchase owner’s title insurance for added protection against future claims to the title. The closing process is designed to be smooth and trouble-free, ensuring a successful refinancing transaction for everyone involved.

Is a new title issued during refinancing?

When you refinance a property the ownership of the property remains the same, and the existing title remains in place.

However, the mortgage or the lender’s name typically changes. Instead of issuing a completely new title, Palm Title conducts an updated title search to confirm the property’s ownership and to ensure there are no new liens or issues that could impact the refinanced loan. This process ensures that all relevant parties are accurately reflected in the title and that the refinancing transaction proceeds smoothly without any unforeseen complications.
