Executor & Inheritance Protection
Executor & Inheritance Protection Insurance
An insurance solution provided by our partner, DUAL Asset, which protects Solicitors and their clients when you need to distribute an estate but are concerned about the potential legal pitfalls and uncertainties which may affect the process.
Product Details
- A comprehensive insurance product, which includes missing beneficiary, missing will and will dispute cover, amongst 13 other potential risks
- The policy will also pay defence costs for those cases which need defending, as well as legal costs incurred
- Cover can also be extended to provide insurance for legal rights claims relating to missing children and claims from creditors that cannot be resolved
Product Benefits
- The policies protect and pay claims, which in a worst-case scenario could mean paying out the whole value of the estate again, to an aggrieved party. They act as an alternative to going to court, avoiding the need for a costly and lengthy legal process. Insurance policies have been the go-to solution for the aggrieved party in numerous Professional Indemnity claim cases, where mistakes have been made in the drafting of a will.
