About Us
The General Title and Trust Company has been in the business of selling title insurance since 1925. As one of the largest, independent title insurance underwriters in Ohio, the Company takes pride in its ability to provide competitive title insurance products and competent services to the real estate community through its family of title insurance agents.
We maintain an “Unsurpassed” financial stability rating that only a handful of title insurance underwriters can match.
In addition to our unique level of financial stability, our underwriting staff possesses over 60 years of combined legal experience in the areas of real estate and title insurance defense. This experience has played a major role in helping to shape the landscape of real estate law in Ohio through such notable cases as:
- Mortgage Electronic Registration Sys. v. Odita, 159 Ohio App.3d 1, 2004 Ohio 5546
(reinforced the limitations of filing improperly executed mortgages in Ohio) - First Union v. Harmon, 2002-Ohio-4446
(upheld the use of equitable subrogation to gain mortgage priority for our Insured)
We have on-site attorneys who are available at any time to answer questions or provide underwriting guidance to fit your particular needs. Our efforts get results both for our agents and our Insureds.
