I don't recall anything about title insurance, but then we were technically refinancing, not buying.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Title insurance was an option for us. We weren't required to buy it, but we did anyway.
I'm pretty sure this was the case for me, too, in Maryland.
They can't figure out how the existing loan didn't come to light when they bought the house originally
What everyone else said about title insurance. In fact, I don't know how anyone could get a mortgage without title insurance, because the bank doesn't want to lend you money to buy a house that has liens against it, because that means there's less security for the loan.
Maybe I'm wrong and they did have it? I may not have kept track of all the details.
Yeah, mine required title insurance even though the building was only 7 years old (I suppose it maybe also covers the land back farther?) which seemed awfully expensive. But dang...
My sense is that title insurance may protect the loaning bank more than it protects the buyer, a la mortgage insurance. But I don't really know.
This doesn't bear mentioning anywhere other than this board, but when I said "Well, why don't you use some of your time off going to Haiti with Misha Collins?" I hadn't fully processed that this would make me self-immolate due to jealousy multiple times. How could I have not predicted that and protected myself appropriately?

Seriously? You didn't think there was an outside chance...?
I just made myself a total Dagwood of a sandwich with about nine ingredients and multiple condiments and it was soooooo good.
And then I realized that neither of my children would know what "Dagwood" referred to or why I would think of it in relation to a big sandwich.
"Blondie" is *still* running. I would suggest introducing your children to it, except that it is possibly the dullest comic still in commercial production. The history of "Blondie" on the other hand has a certain amount of interest. Did you know it started as a soap opera type comic, without much intentional humor, and was drawn in a more realistic (Rex Morgan M.D., Mary Worth) style?
