Questions

New Jersey answers.

How much is title insurance in New Jersey?

New Jersey title premiums are calculated from the insured amount using a bracketed rate schedule, so the premium rises with the purchase price or loan amount rather than by the hour. Our estimator gives a preliminary figure with search, settlement and recording charges itemized separately.

Who chooses the title company in New Jersey?

The party paying for the policy generally selects the title company, subject to the contract. A lender may not require you to use a specific title company under federal law.

Does Hudson Titles serve all of New Jersey?

Yes. Share the property address and our team will confirm coverage and the customary searches for that county.
