If the transaction is a refinance, then the borrower (current owner), pays for the Mortgage Title Insurance, for coverage on the new loan.
If the transaction is a purchase, the title insurance fees are negotiable and either buyer, seller or both can pay the fees as per what is regional practice or what has been negotiated into the sales contract.
All states vary, yet who pays on a purchase is always an elective and negotiable between the parties involved as to the Owner's Policy.
Typically the new buyer pays for the Mortgage Policy regardless as to who is paying for the Owner's policy.

Does Florida law require title insurance to transfer a property title?
No, Florida law does not require that title insurance be issued. The only requirement to transferring title, is that a proper deed be recorded. However, having said that, if you are buying a property from someone, title insurance is greatly recommended. Title Insurance is the only thing that protects you in the event you receive a fraudulent title, or you later find out that there are undisclosed liens or encumbrances against the title. I would never buy any property without the protection of a title insurance policy. If, on the other hand, your parents are transferring to you their property, and you already know the history of the title, title insurance would not be needed.
Can you provide an estimate for an Abstract of Title versus full Title Insurance for a 130000 dollar house in Florida?
An Abstract of Title in Florida could be as little as $200, depending on what the title company or agent was willing to charge, however this would not provide you with any title insurance, only a report what was found on a title search of the property. Meanwhile, if you wanted title insurance you should compare several title insurance companies because they will be charging for the title search, closing fees and probably several other fees in addition to the actual title insurance policy. The Florida promulgated rate for an owners title insurance policy is $725.00 for a $130,000 house. Please remember you will be comparing more than just the policy rate, which may have some applicable credits depending on your situation. You may qualify for a reissue credit if you are refinancing, and you should get several quotes on an "out the door" price when comparing title insurance.

How do you start a title company in Utah?
The process requires that you be bonded and to be bonded you need to demonstrate the experience to search through the county archives for title problems. Anyone in Utah who would use your service to perform a title search would demand title insurance, and title insurance companies will not work with you if you don't have the experience. That means you'll need to work for a title insurance company long enough to get the experience to get the bond.
