Getting Title Insurance on land purchased at tax deed auction

[Ru Monsell]

Last Sept. I bought a residential parcel at a tax deed auction in upstate NY near Albany. I hold full legal title, and wanted to sell quickly. I had an enthusiastic buyer all set, but it feel through because her lawyer's title co. said they wouldn't insure anything bought at auction until 2 years had elapsed. Any suggestions on how to find a title co. that will ensure the property so I can sell it without waiting until late next year?
