I have always believed title insurance in Florida was a racket. Where I come from, NY, you generally use a lawyer to close and that lawyer does a title search. If he screws up, you sue him for malpractice. You don't buy title insurance. There was only one title company covering about ten counties doing mainly commercial transactions. Here, you probably have 100 title companies covering every 10 counties. It's a rip off and these title companies have zero interest in you as your own lawyer would!!
