Explanation
In Pennsylvania, the custom for who pays the owner's title insurance policy varies by county and is negotiable between the parties. In some eastern Pennsylvania counties, the seller customarily pays; in others, the buyer pays or it is split. Unlike the lender's policy (always paid by the buyer), owner's policy allocation is a negotiation point.
