title insurance validity period My interest 04-10-2008

I have a policy with me listed as the insured. The covered amount is
the original purchase price with a notion of the mortgage amount.

Will the policy still be valid after I pay off my mortgage but still
own the same house?

(Somehow I got an impression that the title insurance only benefits
the mortgage bank and I may need to buy a re-issued policy if I clear
my mortgage. But I cannot find any obvious clause in the policy
details --- I must admit I don't fully understand those legal jargons
on the policy document.)

Thanks.

This isn't a tax question. I think there's a moderated board for legal
questions.

You probably need to have your lawyer look at the policy. AFAIK there are
owner's policies and lendor's policies.
