Title insurance protects both the lender and the homeowner against loss resulting from any defects in the title or claims against a property not discovered in a title search. Title insurance premiums are usually paid in one lump sum at the time the policy is issued, and the policy remains in force until the property is sold. Mortgage lenders normally require that borrowers obtain title insurance.

Whole life insurance

Whole life insurance is generally used when the need for life insurance is lifelong, or permanent. Whole life has a built-in savings element since you pay premiums and build up a cash value through the life of the policy. Premiums for whole life are initially higher than term insurance, but are smaller than the premiums you would pay if you were to keep renewing a term life insurance policy.
