Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation

Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation was founded in 1925 in Richmond, Virginia. The company opened its first branch in Atlanta, Georgia in 1937. In 1943, Lawyers Title purchased the Atlanta Title & Trust Company and became the only title insurance company in the state. The company soon opened branch offices in several other Georgia cities including Savannah and Augusta. The Savannah office was opened in 1952 and closed in 1998, at which time some its files and a property index of title histories were donated to the Georgia Historical Society. In March 2009, the Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company purchased Lawyers Title Insurance and closed the Augusta, Georgia, office. Upon the closure of the Augusta office, the old Savannah Office name index and order books were donated to the Georgia Historical Society.
