Title insurance protects the interest of the lender for a Mortgage Policy and the interest of the buyer for an Owner's Policy.

If you had a title agency do a Report on Title (no insurance coverage), please be advised that in NO WAY is the title agency or its Underwriter responsible for issues of title that may arise at a later date which were caused by prior owner acts.

The risk is 100% your liability, even if the title agency missed something on their Report on Title, because their FYI Report is not insurance for covering errors, ommissions, or defects. It is a simple property report and probably has a disclaimer on it that they are not responsible for claims exceeding the cost of the Report (usually a couple hundred dollars).

This includes any possible defects in title, the legal description, the survey, the taxes, past mortgages, liens, or claims to the property.

When purchasing cash, you are not required to purchase an Owner's Policy, but if you do not, you are also not protected against any defects when you go to sell.

Most people elect the coverage because it is a one-time fee for as long as you own your property - 1 year or 50 years. You also get a discount should you ever decide to refinance the property.
