About Us

Yates Title was founded in 1995 by Gary Anglin as Hamilton-Hico Title and Abstract Company.  In 1997, he sold the company to Nancy Anglin Yates.  She later renamed the business Yates Title and relocated it to the East side of the Hamilton Courthouse Square in the historic and beautifully renovated Chesley Building.
Nancy grew the business significantly during her more than 27 years of ownership.  Upon her retirement in 2023, she sold Yates Title to Amanda Anglin Thompson and Kathleen Anglin who continue the multi-generational legacy of service that Hamilton County property owners have come to associate with Yates Title.
