Does an insurance policy transfer when buying or selling a home?

I'm buying a home in Boca Raton and figured I'd just take over the seller's homeowners insuranc. is that how it works, or do I have to get my own policy? And I keep hearing flood insurance works differently. Does that transfer?

In AR, Seller didn't disclose a drainage problem and water is flooding into the garage and storage

We purchased a home in Mena, AR in August of 2023. On the Real Estate contract, we asked for a Property Disclosure Statement and the seller signed it, but we didn't receive it. The seller didn't tell us about a major flooding problem with water flooding into our garage and into our storage building. Now we have mold in the storage building, and on our vehicle and items. We texted the seller a while back and asked about the flooding, and he wrote back saying he just swept the water out when it came into the garage, so he was quite aware of it. What can I do at this point?
