One of the best things to ever happen to Alliant National Title was the addition of Lin Brasier as Regional Underwriting Counsel.
It is said that all good things must come to an end. BUT, in
some cases the “good things” coming to an end for one, may actually be the most
incredible thing for someone else. One of the best things to ever happen to
Alliant National Title was the addition of Lin Brasier as Regional Underwriting
Counsel. Lin’s vast knowledge base has been used by Alliant National title
agents for almost 6 years after 37 years with a national underwriter. When Lin
came to Alliant National, he promised that he would work for “two years.” That was almost 6 years ago.
As of March 31, 2020,
Lin will have the pleasure of joining his wonderful wife Carol, who has shared
him with the title industry for almost 5 decades, in deciding just what he is
going to do every day that doesn’t include title insurance. Yes, after a career
spanning more than 43 years, Lin Brasier, will be joining the ranks of those
who are called retired.

Is your
local recording office open? To protect the health of their employees, many
governmental recording offices have decided to reduce staff, reduce hours or
temporarily close their doors due to risks associated with the COVID-19 virus.

Businesses around the country are instituting safety policies in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, and the title industry is no exception.
We’d like to pass on a number of resources that title agents can use to help develop their own business continuity and “safe closing” initiatives.
Recently, several agents have received requests from lenders for their company’s COVID-19 Policy and the name and position of a point of contact for the agency. To help, Alliant National has developed a sample Disaster Preparedness Plan for Settlement Agents. It’s in a format that’s easy to personalize for your company’s use. Just insert your logo and modify the list as needed.
Check out ALTA’s
COVID-19 resource page, NNA’s COVID-19 resource page and Alliant National’s COVID-19 resource page for more information on how you can keep your closings
safe and your business moving forward.
