Attorneys' Title Guaranty Fund, Inc. (ATG®) now known as Advocus National Title Insurance Company, was founded in 1964 by a group of Illinois lawyers concerned about the erosion of the lawyer's role in real estate transactions. We are the only Bar-Related® title insurance underwriter — our agents are lawyers who issue title insurance policies as part of their law practices — in Illinois.

ATG/Advocus is widely known as an advocate for lawyers and the clients they serve. Through the years, our goal has remained the same: To provide our agents with a level of support and services that empowers them to give their clients high-quality legal assistance with real estate transactions — including title insurance and related services.
