Will title insurance transfer with inherited property?

Answer 1

No. Title insurance is non-transferrable.

The coverage is only for the life of a loan (Mortgage Policy) or from conveyance to a new owner from the current owner (Owner Policy).

Even if the property you inherited had been \"in the family\" for years, it is still wise to have a property search done on the property to make sure it is free of liens and possible claims. Once you know the true status of it, you can make the decision to purchase an Owner's Policy to insure your interests against prior owners. If you are not keeping the property, intending to sell it, you'd want to know the status of the title so you didn't have surprises later on at the closing table.

The fact that you are inheriting the property does not guaranty clear title.
