Does anyone think it's worth an extra $600 for title insurance for purchasing a resale week?

How much are you paying for the week? If you are buying it for $600, then what is the point of spending another $600?

If the cost is more than you would care to lose, then get title insurance. I have purchased the title insurance 4 or 5 times, but never paid more than $350. $600 is a lot!

Depends on the cost of the week or where you you are purchasing from. We bought just to have piece of mind.

Policies only cover up to your purchase price so you need to weigh the risk vs. what it would pay you if there was in an issue.

Thanks everyone! I saw quoted $600 for timeshare around $10k. Problem is this is the rate for houses. $600 in title insurance should be enough to buy a $200k or so house!!
