A local company is now known by a new name.
Effective Jan. 1, American Guaranty Title Company and American-First Abstract Company changed its name to Old Republic Title Company of Oklahoma. Over the years, subsidiaries and affiliates of the parent company, Old Republic International Corporation, have undergone name changes in order to be more closely aligned with the Old Republic Title “brand.”
Company officials said this change is an opportunity to unite the company's operations in central Oklahoma under one name.
“In bringing together the reputation and integrity of American Guaranty Title Company and American-First Abstract Company, with that of the Old Republic Title family, we are able to unite ourselves with a name that has long stood for strength and stability,” said Chaney Haynes, president of Old Republic Title Company of Oklahoma. “While both companies have been part of the Old Republic Title Insurance Group for several years, the time was right to more publicly align ourselves with a name that for 18 consecutive years has held the distinction of being the highest rated title insurer in the nation.”
In Canadian County, Old Republic has offices in El Reno, Mustang and Yukon. It also maintains 12 other offices throughout central Oklahoma. Haynes said the name change will not affect service to customers of those offices.
ORTIG is comprised of Old Republic National Title Insurance Company, American Guaranty Title Insurance Company and Mississippi Valley Title Insurance Company. The group operates in 49 states, as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
