Has a contract already been written and accepted by both parties?
If not, you may want an attorney to write one up.
If the seller is using an attorney, by all means, I would recommend that you have one also.
If there are any unusual details, I would also recommend usuing an attorney.
If the sale is a very ordinary sale with no unusual clauses, a title company can do exactly what an attorney will do and you can save the attorney's fees, but they do not write contracts.
The title insurance amount would be the same no matter who you use. That fee is determined by the amount of the sale.
If the seller can provide a copy of their title insurance (when they originally purchased), there should be a small re-issue credit.
Just as a point of information, the title insurance fee is not set in concrete and is negotiable.
The person who pays this fee is traditional thing in each county.
In one county the buyer may pay it and in a different county the seller may pay.
