Stewart Title expands Mid-Atlantic footprint

Stewart Title has acquired Lawyers Signature Settlements (LSS), a Frederick, Maryland-based title agency, expanding its presence in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Founded nearly 15 years ago, LSS provides residential and commercial title services across Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

“LSS has become one of the most trusted agents in the Frederick market and has earned an outstanding reputation through its commitment to service, deep local market expertise, and strong relationships throughout the community,” said Courtney Katunick, division president at Stewart Title.

“We’re thrilled to welcome the team to Stewart, as together we will expand opportunities for our customers while preserving the service excellence and trusted relationships that have made LSS successful.”

LSS owner and president Katrina Hallein said joining Stewart positions the company for continued growth while helping address evolving industry challenges.

“We are excited about the opportunities and possibilities that joining Stewart presents for the LSS team and our valued customers,” she said. “As a long-time Frederick resident, we take pride in serving our community and by joining Stewart, LSS is positioned to continue serving the Frederick area into the future.

“As the title insurance industry evolves there are more outside threats, such as wire fraud, and having the financial strength and backing of Stewart will be important to our long-term success.”
