Guaranty Abstract Company's History

Guaranty Abstract Company, one of Tulsa's premier, family-owned businesses, has been in continuous operation for over 80 years. Three generations of Kirkpatricks have owned and managed Guaranty Abstract Company. J. F. Kirkpatrick founded the company in 1928 and passed it on to sons Glade and Clay. For the past 47 years, Glade's son, John C. "Jack" Kirkpatrick, has been involved in the family business and is now chairman/CEO and sole owner. In addition to being Tulsa's largest privately owned title company, Guaranty is the only company with a complete and independent set of Tulsa County land records. One of only four licensed, bonded abstractors in Tulsa County, Guaranty has built a stellar reputation for expedient, efficient and effective service in handling real estate abstracting, title insurance, closings and 1031 Exchange services. Jack Kirkpatrick is justifiably proud that his company has handled the title work and closings for the majority of Tulsa's major transactions, including the BOK Tower, Woodland Hills Mall and One Technology Center, among others.

Guaranty Abstract Company is an exclusive agent in Tulsa County for Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation, and also represents Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, Fidelity National Title Insurance Company and Ticor Title Insurance Company. Guaranty Abstract Company has four locations in the Tulsa Metropolitan area to meet the real estate needs of every client in an expedient, efficient and effective manner (please click on Offices for specific office locations).

The dedication to quality service and the innovative and decisive leadership of Guaranty Abstract Company provide a strong foundation for the company. Guaranty Abstract Company is poised and ready to serve the real estate needs of Tulsa County, as well as the rest of the state of Oklahoma.
