Job description

Advocus National Title Insurance Company is a title insurance underwriter and settlement service provider. Based in Chicago and formerly known as Attorneys' Title Guaranty Fund, Inc. (ATG), our roots go back to 1964. While our name has evolved, our purpose remains the same: To advocate for and protect consumers in one of life's biggest financial transactions and to support the attorneys and other professionals who guide them. Since 2023, Advocus has been expanding beyond its Midwestern foundation to serve agents and clients in many states. Our priorities are to support our agents, partner closely across every transaction, and protect our insureds long after their closings are complete. Title insurance safeguards property buyers and lenders against financial loss or legal disputes if there are hidden defects in a property's ownership history. It covers pre-existing issues such as forgery, unrecorded liens, unpaid taxes, or missing heirs. [106 words without italicized explanatory statement.
