We are buying a house from family. Should we do a title search

[David Shertzer]

My wife and I are purchasing her grandfather's house. We are told the property has a clear title. We are paying cash for the house. Is it still a good idea to have a title search done and buy title insurance? Also if anyone recommends a good closing company in Harrisburg Pennsylvania. We are fairly new to investing and have never closed on a house with out a realtor.
