Tax Deed Sale - Should I buy Title Insurance?

[Gideon Blustein]

I was the successful bidder on two parcels in my local tax deed auction. I'm wondering if I should bother with title insurance? My research has not turned up any surprises or concerns on the properties so what would I be insuring against?

You normally can't get traditional title insurance on a tax deed because a tax deed is considered to have a cloud on the title. You can do a Quiet Title action to clear the deed or get QC deeds from previous owners and lien releases from an liens.
