Why have owners Title insurance and title insurance?
The lender requires a policy at time of purchase or refinance to protect itself, but this policy provides no coverage whatsoever for the owner in case of a title defect. The owner should purchase an owner's policy at the time they buy the house to cover their interest. They will not need to purchase another owner's policy when they refinance. The policy will cover them as long as they own the house. Added by Title Geek: The OWNER'S policy covers/discovers the history of owner's in the property as well as identifies easements, condition, prior agreements, rights of ways and many other matters affecting the property. The Owner's policy insures to the date you purchased and recorded the new deed into your name. It does not cover YOUR acts after you have purchased the property. The MORTGAGE policy covers the Lender's financial interest into the property. All lender's require mortgage title insurance on a purchase or refinance to cover their financial interest in the property. They will require updated coverage on a Mortgage Modification. In many cases, they waive title insurance on a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), based on the amount of the HELOC. Typically, if the HELOC is less than $50,000.00, they may not require title coverage.

Example: John Smith purchases a property and he has title insurance and the policy is dated Jan 2, 2008. John Smith insured by the title insurer that he has free and clear title subject to the exceptions in his title policy. TitleExaminer237 http://sites.google.com/site/michigantitleexaminerportal/
Do you have to pay for title insurance again when refinancing?
Yes. You have to buy a lender's title policy for the new lender. Your owner's title policy is good for as long you own the home. If you have an owner's policy, you can very often get a "reissue credit" on any future lenders title policies that you may be required to buy when you refinance. The Mortgage Policy is only good for the life of the loan. If the current loan is paid off, the policy is no longer needed on the CURRENT loan being paid off. However, the new lender will require a Mortgage Policy on the new loan. The ONLY time you may not be required to get new title insurance would be if the current mortgage loan was re-written by the lender, changing terms, interest rates but not the loan amount. Don't confuse this with a Streamline loan offered by your current lender offering a new interest rate on a new loan, but with low cost closing fees.
When does title insurance begin?
It begins at the time and date of recording of the vesting instrument, which is generally either the deed (for an owner's policy), or the mortgage (for a lender's policy).
