Building the Future Together - August 1, 2023

Dear Agents,

We're in the throes of summer, but exciting September changes are coming soon! 

September 1, 2023 - Rebrand: ATG officially becomes Advocus National Title Insurance Company.

New Name, Same Values, Same Team: You have my word that our team will continue to serve you and support your title business and real estate practice as we always have.

As you know, we reorganized ATG operations earlier in 2023. We now have a larger team of title and closing professionals with better systems in place and new solutions in store for agents. Scroll to view the updated Title and Closing Services information, below.

	"New name, same values, one company. We will always prioritize high-quality personalized service to you and your clients."

CHANGING

Website | Our current site will point to a bridge website on 9/1/23. The bridge site, advocus.com, will contain new content and links to existing content. You will still be able to access tools, forms, information, articles and other features on atgf.com as we migrate that content over time.

Email Addresses | All email addresses (individuals and services) will have the @advocustitle.com domain. Our @atgf.com email addresses will forward.

STAYING THE SAME

Great Service | We remain committed to our core mission of serving and supporting your title business and real estate practice!

Convenient Office Locations | Look for new signage at ATG and NLT locations starting this fall. (NLT agents, look for an email communication from Mike Moore within the next day or two.)

Wire Instructions | As always, direct customers to our wire instructions on the ATG-soon-Advocus website. No changes to account numbers, but transactions scheduled on or after 9/1/23 will be through the new Advocus name.

HOW AGENTS CAN GET READY

Transaction and Policy Forms | Regarding title commitments, policies, closing statements, closing protection letters, wire instructions, and all documentation relating to transactions:

Files opened on or after September 1, 2023 - Will reference our new name, Advocus National Title Insurance Company (Advocus), in all documentation.

Files opened prior to September 1, 2023, but closing after September 1, 2023 - Will reference Attorneys’ Title Guaranty Fund, Inc. (ATG) in documentation relating to the transaction but will be insured by Advocus (formerly ATG) because the policies will be issued after September 1, 2023.

Escrow Accounts | You are not required to use our name on your escrow account, but if you do, please add to the account, Agent of Advocus National Title Insurance Company for transactions on or after September 1, 2023. 

Brochures and Flyers | Do you use our informative brochures and flyers to help explain the buying/selling process and title insurance to clients? Look for Advocus downloads on our website after September 1, 2023. 

Agent of... Window Static for Display | Your Account Executive will send or deliver a new Advocus version in September or October!

Questions? If you have transaction-related questions about our name change, please feel free to contact the Legal Department at legal@atgf.com (use @advocustitle.com after 9/1/23) or 800.252.0402. We welcome your feedback on how we can continue to make your experience with us one that serves you and your clients well into the future.

We look forward to continuing our long and fulfilling relationship with all of you as we transition into this new and exciting phase.
