My brother-in-law bought a house in N. Georgia, and he purchased title insurance. A woman made a claim that she owned part of his property and took him to court. The title insurance paid for everything and the woman eventually lost. It turns out that she did that to a lot of people in that area (Hiawassee). She won some because people didn't have title insurance and couldn't afford to fight it. The total bill for his case was $60,000. The title insurance cost him $300. I bought a pre-owned, and the title insurance was automatically included in the sale as part of the settlement costs. I would have bought it regardless. It may not be needed here in TV, but if it is, I'm prepared.
