Typically, the purchaser of the property is free to choose the title insurance company. This can be the same one that the seller had, or a different one.
There may be a difference in related costs depending upon which option is chosen. This is because the existing insurer may deem it unnecessary to conduct an entirely new title search; instead, it may just opt for an updated one from the time it issued the existing policy.

Title insurance is usually required by the lender to protect the lender against loss resulting from claims by others against your new home.
