Celebrating 20 Years of Trusted Closings
LeConte Title was founded by attorneys who demanded the highest-caliber work product for their legal clients. Built on precision, accountability, and deep legal experience, the company quickly earned a reputation for resolving complex title issues with confidence and clarity.
Long before the housing surge brought new title agencies to the market, LeConte Title had already established itself as a trusted resource for developers, lenders, and REALTORS® across Knoxville. For two decades, we have provided consistent, attorney-led closing services for both straightforward transactions and the most challenging title matters.

Our Policy
Before a policy is issued, we conduct a search of public records, maps and documents. These records may extend back to state land grants and forward to the current owner. Only after collecting, examining and interpreting appropriate records is a policy issued insuring the condition of title. Besides describing your property and spelling out any recorded limitations on your ownership, your title insurance policy sets forth in clear terms what the insurance company will do in the event that a flaw in title is discovered or your rights of ownership are challenged.
In simple terms, the insurance company agrees:
• To defend your title in the courts, as insured, at its own expense.
• To correct or clear the title when possible.
• To promptly pay you for your loss in the event of an unsuccessful defense of your title.
Two Policies in One
This is in effect two policies in one. One provides coverage for legal expenses to defend title. The other provides for reimbursement in the event of a loss.
Our Low Premium
A low, one-time premium is all you pay to obtain the protection and peace of mind of a title insurance policy. So long as ownership remains in your name or that of your heirs, there is no additional cost. The policy is issued in an amount equal to the purchase price you pay. Of course, the greater the coverage given, the higher the premium.
