Typically, a Loan/Mortgage policy cannot be transferred to a new loan as the title coverage is unique to each loan.
The mortgage coverage on a loan ends when the loan is paid off and satisfied, that is why new coverage is taken out on the new loan.
However, in the case of a Mortgage Modification of an existing loan, the coverage may be extended to cover the existing loan and the new loan amount of the Modification.
There would still be title charges for the changes in the Mortgage Modification coverage in most cases.

Should you buy Mortgage Title Insurance?
I think you are asking two different questions here. (1) Mortgage Insurance insures your life in order to pay off your mortgage if you die. (2) Title Insurance ensures that the company guarantees and will defend your title and deed to your house that it will stand a test in court if someone should ever challenge your ownership of the property. I do NOT recommend getting mortgage insurance. You could just as easily buy term life insurance for less money to do the same thing. I DO recommend getting title inusrance.

Can somebody explain title insurance to you?
Yes, a licensed title producer or an attorney can explain the concept of title insurance which is relatively simple: 1. A Lender's or Mortgage Policy covers the lender's mortgage interest in the property for the life of their loan against title defects at the time the mortgage is taken. The only way a Lender's coverage can be transferred to a new mortgage holder if the loan is sold, is if the lender takes out Secondary Mortgage Market coverage at the time the new mortgage was made by the borrower. 2. An Owner's Policy covers the new owner against PRIOR defects in the title. It is good for as long as the owner is vested in the property whether it be 5 years or 50 years, but does not cover any defects made by the new owner while in possession. An Owner's Policy is NOT transferrable.
