Title insurance is a specialized type of insurance that is not generally sold by insurance agents. It is usually provided by an attorney and underwritten by a title insurance company who specializes in this type of insurance. The title insurance company relies on statements and work done by the attorney when he does the title search and he has some liability for his work. You can't just decide that you want a title insurance policy anytime. It is usually done when you purchase a piece of property. I suppose that if you wanted to pay for a new title search you may be able to buy a policy at a time other than at closing.

Does Florida law require title insurance to transfer a property title?
No, Florida law does not require that title insurance be issued. The only requirement to transferring title, is that a proper deed be recorded. However, having said that, if you are buying a property from someone, title insurance is greatly recommended. Title Insurance is the only thing that protects you in the event you receive a fraudulent title, or you later find out that there are undisclosed liens or encumbrances against the title. I would never buy any property without the protection of a title insurance policy. If, on the other hand, your parents are transferring to you their property, and you already know the history of the title, title insurance would not be needed.
Can a cosigner request half of the insurance check if his name is on the title but he didn't have to make any payments or buy insurance?

Should you buy Mortgage Title Insurance?
I think you are asking two different questions here. (1) Mortgage Insurance insures your life in order to pay off your mortgage if you die. (2) Title Insurance ensures that the company guarantees and will defend your title and deed to your house that it will stand a test in court if someone should ever challenge your ownership of the property. I do NOT recommend getting mortgage insurance. You could just as easily buy term life insurance for less money to do the same thing. I DO recommend getting title inusrance.
