Williston Financial Group LLC (WFG) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, WFG National Title Insurance Company have appointed Morgan Harris as executive vice president of default services. The Williston Financial Group family of title insurers is currently licensed and operating in 39 jurisdictions nationwide.
