Insurance - beneficial interest but not the legal owner (so to speak)

If someone has a beneficial ownership in a property (of what ever %) up to 100% but their name is not on the title is there any issue with them obtaining buildings insurance rather then the one with the title deeds in their name
I would not have thought so as they have an insurable interest?

    It is in your Interests to insure the property and I am sure the Insurers  don't care who pays the premiums.
    Make sure you insure the buildings and contents for the correct amount.
