Default Re: Should we buy Title Insurance for our new house in Hadley?

Perhaps all these years in NY has made me more paranoid than most, but I always understood title insurance protected against more than a lien. If some local dug up a deed from the 1800's that said your land is his, there could be a problem.
$1200 is a small percentage of the overall cost, and I just thought of it as part of the price. Like one of the taxes you pay.
