Since title insurance is underwritten "at the table" by the agency, it is the least likely type of insurance to receive a claim.
The new owner is protected against previous mortgages, owners, judgments, etc. that are of public record prior to the purchase of the property.
The low one-time fee over the lifetime of ownership is well worth the investment for peace of mind, since real estate is usually the largest single investment a person makes in their lifetime. Plus, in most states, there is a reduced rate at the time of purchase for simultaneously issuing both the Owner's Policy and the Mortgage Policy.
