Why Does an Executor or Administrator of an Estate Need Insurance Protection?
Executors and Administrators face personal and unlimited liability if they make a mistake.
Even the most straightforward of wills can involve hidden difficulties and probate regulations are complex – this can leave executors / personal representatives and administrators vulnerable to potential legal claims by beneficiaries, estate creditors and the tax office.

An 18 month policy
with cover of up to £1,000,000
