If you have recently purchase a property and paid for an Owner's Policy, that policy will be sent to you or your attorney as soon as the Title Agency is in the position to insure the title. This typically happens after all conditions of loan and purchase have been satisfied and the Deed, Mortgage and any other recordable documents have been received and indexed by your County or City Clerk.
If you purchased a property and paid for title insurance, but never received a copy, you can simply contact the title agency that did the work and request a copy. If they do not provide you with your requested copy, contact their insurance underwriter and they will resolve the issue and make sure you are provided with a copy of the policy.
An Owner's Policy is good for a long as you own the insured property, whether that be 1 year or 100 years. Title insurance is non-transferrable and insures your interests against the "history" of the property, such as prior owner's acts, mortgages, liens, etc.

A title commitment is just what it is. It's a commitment. Meaning as long as all of the conditions are met on that commitment, after closing, title insurance will be issued. A commitment is not considered insurance. Your title is not insured until after closing when the new deed and/or mortgage has been recorded. At that point, the title company issues insurance. If you are buying a new home and depending on where you are, you should receive your title policy about 60 days after closing along with either the original or a copy of your deed.

What is title insurance and do you need it when refinancing your home?
Title insurance is usually required by the lender to protect the lender against loss resulting from claims by others against your new home. In some states, attorneys offer title insurance as part of their services in examining title and providing a title opinion. The attorney's fee may include the title insurance premium.

To save money on title insurance, compare rates among various title insurance companies. Ask what services and limitations on coverage are provided under each policy. In many states, title insurance premium rates are established by the state and may not be negotiable. Even if the premium rates are not negotiable, many of the title-related fees can vary from company to company and should be compared as well.
