According to the company, the moves are part of a broader strategy to reinforce its leadership bench and position the organization to operate more efficiently while accelerating market expansion.

WFG National Title Insurance Company, part of Williston Financial Group, is a national title insurer operating in 49 states and Washington, D.C., with business lines spanning direct title operations, agency operations, and enterprise solutions. The company provides title insurance, escrow, and settlement services tied to residential and commercial real estate transactions.
