Yes, anyone who takes title by operation of law, inheritance for example, is an insured under the title policy No. Title insurance is non-transferrable. The coverage is only for the life of a loan (Mortgage Policy) or from conveyance to a new owner from the current owner (Owner Policy). Even if the property you inherited had been "in the family" for years, it is still wise to have a property search done on the property to make sure it is free of liens and possible claims. Once you know the true status of it, you can make the decision to purchase an Owner's Policy to insure your interests against prior owners. If you are not keeping the property, intending to sell it, you'd want to know the status of the title so you didn't have surprises later on at the closing table. The fact that you are inheriting the property does not guaranty clear title.

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.
