Are you purchasing or refinancing a home in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania? You must make sure that all of your documents are properly arranged, and that includes your title insurance. If your title insurance has not been appropriately situated when you get to the closing table, your real estate transaction could be canceled.
Many people feel compelled to use the title insurance company provided by their mortgage company or lender. While you are welcome to do so, it is illegal for them to force you to use their company, under federal law, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). This law gives you the right to choose your own title insurance company, and you may not want to use the title insurance company provided to you by your bank.
You must make sure you evaluate all of your options carefully. We have a real estate attorney in-house who can take a look at your mortgage and title paperwork for you. We also have connections throughout the industry, and we can use them to help you find an affordable third-party title insurance company that is best for your needs. Let us make sure your real estate transaction is properly protected.
We are not affiliated with any bank or lender, so our only goal is to provide you with the best title insurance possible. If you would like to learn more about how we can help you with all of your title insurance needs in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, contact us today!
LEBANON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
First settled in 1723, Lebanon County was created by an Act of Assembly in 1813 from portions of Dauphin and Lancaster Counties. The original German settlers tilled the valley’s fertile soil, creating an economic base that continues today and blends with the residential, commercial and industrial development presently occurring. Also reflective of Lebanon County’s “Pennsylvania Dutch” heritage are its pastoral landscape, attractive farms and outstanding dairy and pork products, especially Lebanon Bologna. Lebanon County also is blessed with an abundance of open space and conservation lands that provide numerous recreational opportunities.
Located in south central Pennsylvania, approximately 25 miles east of the state capital (Harrisburg), Lebanon County is a 5th class county with a total land area of 362.9 square miles. Average annual temperature is 50 degrees and average precipitation is almost 36 inches
