Spent 40 years in Community Banking- Primary business was financing homes.
My advice is buy owners title insurance . Yes, the incidence of title problems is relatively infrequent, but when a problem arrises, it can be incredibly expensive. Most claim costs are for attorneys fees to protect your ownership position.
Take advice from a real estate attorney, not neighbors and friends , who have no real knowledge of the subject. Free legal advice is usually worth what is paid for it.
Full disclosure= I am not an attorney.
