Introducing Sean Everest to the WNTI Leadership Team

Worth National Title Insurance Company (WNTI) is excited to announce the leadership of its underwriting team with the addition of industry expert Sean Everest.

With the continued growth in the number of agents representing Worth National Title Insurance, the demand on our underwriting staff is immense. This is an opportunity to elevate our outstanding service by bringing on a talented and experienced attorney. Sean Everest joins WNTI with a rich background in the field. His extensive knowledge of the Texas market is crucial to our growth plans. With his diverse experience, it was clear that Sean was the ideal candidate to lead our underwriting team.

Sean’s career in the title industry began at a direct operation in San Antonio, where he gained valuable experience in escrow and title examination. He later moved into the oil and gas industry and also worked as a football coach before returning to the title sector as underwriting counsel for a San Antonio title agency. In addition, he has served as general counsel for a real estate brokerage firm. Sean Everest expressed, “I am excited to return to underwriting and to support the WNTI family of agents with innovative solutions.” George Stablein, WNTIC CEO commented, “Sean’s background in both direct and agency operations gives him a unique insight that will greatly benefit our independent agents.

Creditors' Rights Exclusion Bulletin 2024 0618

Recently, we have been advised that some lenders are placing requirements in their loan closing instructions that the Creditors’ Rights Exclusion be deleted from the lenders title insurance policy. The Creditors Rights’ Exclusion may not be deleted under any circumstances nor is the addition of affirmative creditors’ rights coverage to be provided.

The Texas Insurance Code Section 2502.006 prohibits any title insurance policy in Texas from providing creditors' rights coverage. Therefore, you may not remove the exclusion for creditors' rights from any Texas policy (Exclusion 4 in the T-1 and Exclusion 6 in the T-1R and T-2), nor may any form of express insurance be provided for creditors’ rights.

Please be careful when reviewing loan closing instructions as they change often, and this request may not be readily apparent.

Feel free to contact your underwriting team at underwriting@worthnational.com if you have any questions.

Worth National Title Insurance Company Approved as Underwriter in Texas

FORT WORTH, TX — Worth National Title Insurance Company is proud to announce its approval as a licensed Underwriter in the state of Texas. This significant milestone marks a new chapter for the company as it expands its services to better serve the Texas market.

Scott McKnight, Chairman of the Board, expressed his enthusiasm for this achievement: "Worth National Title Insurance Company has been licensed as an Underwriter in the State of Texas."

George Stablein, CEO and President, highlighted the foundational role of the company's relationships and partnerships in reaching this milestone: “Without Scott McKnight’s vision, coupled with the relationships, partnerships, and friendships we have all made in our careers, this would not be possible. While we believe we will be no less 'cutting edge,' 'technology savvy,' or any other buzzwords used when describing a company, we believe it will be the actions taken to build our relationships, partnerships, and friendships that will separate us from our competitors."

Norma Scott, Senior Vice President, emphasized the company's commitment to trust and transparency: “We’re excited with the opportunity to connect with new friends and partners. Trust and transparency are the cornerstones of our relationships. Partners WORTH Having!”

Worth National Title Insurance Company looks forward to leveraging its innovative approach and strong network of relationships to provide exceptional service and support to its clients in Texas.
