Not so. Title insurance is not required for the property owner. An owner's policy is optional, but a lender's policy is typically required if there is a mortgage on the property. This will be a requirement set forth by the lender, not by statute.
Also, a title policy merely warranties clear title to the property involved. It does not warrant the veracity of an individual survey.
