Countless decisions go into purchasing a home: location, architectural style, neighborhood, moving date - the list goes on and on. One decision owners face when buying real estate is whether to purchase owner's title insurance.

A quit claim deed does not normally occur when there is a buyer and seller and when money changes hands. These deeds also do not guarantee that the seller, or grantor, has o...
