Stewart Title announced today that Wilhelmina Kightlinger has
assumed the role of Chief Underwriting Counsel for National
Commercial Services (NCS) effective July 1. Having previously
filled the role of Deputy Chief Underwriting Counsel for National
Commercial Services, Kightlinger succeeds former NCS Chief
Underwriting Counsel Don Wade who is stepping down to focus on
mentorship and training, as well as continuing to serve as a member
of the Underwriting Leadership Team for Stewart NCS and on the
Senior Underwriting Committee.
“Don has been with Stewart for nearly 30 years, serving in the
NCS Chief Underwriting Counsel role for the past five years,” said
Erin Sheckler, Head, National Commercial Services. “We want to
thank Don for his leadership and all he has done for Stewart and
our underwriters as he will work closely with Wilhelmina to ensure
a smooth transition. Commercial underwriting is already a noted
strength of ours at Stewart, and Wilhelmina will continue to build
upon the great foundation that Don and our other Senior
Underwriting Committee leaders have lain.”
Prior to joining Stewart, Kightlinger spent 13 years at Old
Republic Title, based in Tampa, FL, most recently as their General
Counsel for the National Commercial Title Services Division. She
had previously spent several years in private practice with DLA
Piper US LLP representing commercial developers and lenders.
“Stewart has a very firm commitment to its future forward vision
that includes a significant investment in the training and
development of our next generation of best-in-class underwriters,”
said Kightlinger. “I’m honored to step into Don’s role while also
continuing to have the benefit of his counsel and guidance as we
remain focused on strengthening our underwriting capacity.
Partnering with our other underwriting leaders nationally, we’ll
continue to grow our footprint in markets where our unique
expertise has previously been underrepresented. I’m excited about
the challenges and opportunities ahead.”
Kightlinger graduated summa cum laude with a Juris Doctorate
from Florida State University College of Law. She is a fellow of
the American College of Real Estate Lawyers (ACREL), a member of
the CLE Committee of the ABA RPTE, and a member of the Executive
Committee of the Executive Council of the Florida Bar Section of
Real Property, Probate, and Trust Law.
Among her extensive publications and honors, Kightlinger’s
articles have appeared in editions of the Florida Bar Journal as
well as Probate and Property, a publication of the Real Property,
Trust, and Estate Section of the American Bar Association (ABA),
the latter of which awarded her the 2017 Excellence in Writing
Award for Best Overall Article. In 2008 she was named one of the
top women in commercial real estate by the Florida Real Estate
Journal. She received the Robert C. Scott Memorial Award from the
Florida Bar Real Property, Probate, and Trust Law Section of the
ABA in 2018.
