Locating Title Insurance for a Refinance - Attorney question

[Terry N.]

The attorney for my refinance sent me this message.  Has anyone else ever had this question?  I'm wondering about "adding" an attorney to my mortgage account.  Does that make sense to anyone?



Can you please look in your files for a prior Owner's Title Insurance Policy? I have reached out to multiple underwriters this morning, however none were able to locate your prior title insurance policy. This policy allows us to conduct a brief title search versus a full 30 year search, which would take a much longer time to complete. You can also contact your current mortgage lender and ask them to add me to your account for purposes of obtaining (1) payoff related information, and (2) prior title policy. Once you have done this please provide me with the lender's information, your loan number and last four of your SSN.

Thx..
