Home Insurance for Executors and Probate
Managing a loved one’s property during probate can be challenging. At Brunel Insurance for People, we specialise in providing Executor and Probate Home Insurance to protect properties throughout the legal process. Our tailored cover ensures the home remains secure, whether it’s occupied or unoccupied, until the estate is fully settled.
What is Probate Home Insurance?
Probate Home Insurance is designed to protect a property that forms part of a deceased person’s estate. During probate, homes often become unoccupied, leaving them at greater risk of damage, vandalism, or theft. Standard home insurance may restrict or remove cover if a property is empty for more than 30 days — that’s why specialist cover is essential.
Our probate policies can be arranged in the executor’s name, with beneficiaries added if needed. This flexibility ensures all legal and practical requirements are met while the estate is being administered.
Does an Executor Need to Arrange Insurance?
Yes—as an executor, you have a legal duty to safeguard the deceased’s assets, including their home. Without suitable unoccupied property insurance or executor’s home insurance, you risk leaving the estate exposed to financial loss.
By arranging specialist cover, you can protect the property against common risks such as fire, flooding, vandalism, and theft during the probate period.
Why Specialist Insurance is Important During Probate
Standard home insurance often isn’t enough for an unoccupied property. Restrictions can apply after just 30 days of vacancy, potentially leaving you without adequate protection.
We provide flexible policy terms — 3, 6, or 12 months — to suit the varying lengths of probate processes. Cover options include building insurance, contents insurance, and property owner’s liability.
Unoccupied Property Insurance for Homes in Probate
If the property is empty, our unoccupied home insurance ensures continued protection. This cover is tailored to properties left vacant during probate and protects against risks such as burst pipes, break-ins, and weather damage.
