Established 1904

John W. Phillips started an abstract company in 1904. His business was called John W. Phillips Abstracting. He worked in that office until the mid 1950’s when he sold the business to his daughter and son in law Lucille P. Hansen and Albert J. Hansen. Albert and Lucille renamed the business Phillips-Hansen Land Title Company to form a sister company with the other Land Title Companies in Northern Utah and Southern Idaho. Bruce and Kim Evans purchased the business in 1991. We left the name the same because it was easily recognized.

I worked my way through college working in title companies. I attended Southern Utah State College where I worked for Cedar Land Title. I worked for them for one year and learned the basic Title Insurance Business, searching titles at the Iron County Courthouse. Because most of the counties in southern Utah are small, Cedar Land Title would do work in all the neighboring counties and I learned a great deal from the other counties. I then transferred to Utah State University and worked for Hickman Land Title Company. I worked there as a Public Relations person and got to learn the front side of the Business. I worked for them for a little over a year when Associated Title Company offered me a job in Ogden. There I learned about the big title companies. I discovered that larger land titles placed a lot of limitations on customer service.

Four classes shy of graduating with a Mathematics degree Albert Hansen approached me and wanted me to purchase the Phillips-Hansen Title Company. I was reluctant, wanting to hold to my goal of being a High School Math teacher and coach. Kim and I considered our options and at the ripe age of 25, we purchased Phillips-Hansen Land Title and have never looked back.
