CB’s Knox heading up new water division for national title company

Crested Butte’s Joe Knox has been appointed vice president of the water division for Alliant National Title Insurance Company. He brings more than 27 years of experience in researching, examining and closing water-related transactions. Knox is a pioneer of title insurance for water and is recognized as a leading authority on water ownership. His expertise includes water interests in 17 western states.

With Knox’s help, Alliant is opening a new water division dedicated solely to water ownership.

“We are excited to be protecting the ownership of water interests,” says Bob Grubb, Alliant National’s president and CEO. “A water interest is considered a real property interest whose owners benefit from title insurance as those who own land interests do. We look forward to educating both industry professionals and consumers, and providing security of their investment through title insurance.”
