Custom usually dictates who pays. In my county the buyer pays. In some other locations the buyer pays. The seller has no obligation to show you his title insurance, as it is meaningless. You want to know the state of the title when you get it not when he got it.
It could have been squeeky clean when he got it but messed up beyond belief now!
