Our History

Professional Land Title Corporation was established in 1964 by Robert S. Dorsey, William C. Hines, Gerald Elson, Robert Devoy and Jack Wrenn. These five businessmen from Brookfield and Marceline, Missouri realized the need for an Abstract Office, which set the establishment for Professional Land Title Corporation located at 113 East Brooks Street in Brookfield, Missouri.

With an office established, the work began. Dudley Brandom, an abstracter from Gallatin, MO, was hired to photograph the land records in the Linneus Court House. His staff set up the plant by organizing the copies of all land transactions dealing with defined legal description of real estate and separated them into individual files. More recently, with the age of computers and the internet, this process utilizes the most up-to-date technology of scanning Court House records directly into the system, keeping the plant current.

From 1968 to 2004, PLTC also operated a credit bureau, which collected public record information with as many as 5,000 secure files for almost every family in the county. Today, the weekly report issued reflects Linn County wide recorded documents provided exclusively to subscribers.

Over the years, Owners Title Insurance has been replacing Abstracts of Title with legal opinions in guaranteeing sound land title ownership. PLTC has undertaken the business of escrowing funds and documents necessary in closing land sales and finance in a professional manner. Many factors contribute to a successful business which is why PLTC prides itself in working hard, having a devoted staff, remaining loyal to our customers, and taking pride in our product.

At PLTC, we are extremely appreciative of the trust, confidence and support given by this community over the past 55+ years. We look forward to continuing our commitment to the community as our rich history provides a strong foundation for a prosperous future.
