When someone dies, an executor is normally named in their will. This might be a solicitor, but might just as easily be you or a trusted friend or family member of the deceased. Up to four people may be appointed to share the duties.

If that is the case, it is important to pay attention to the serious responsibilities that come with your role as an executor. Briefly, these are to:

  • gather together all the money and assets (including property) belonging and owed to the deceased’s estate;
  • pay any outstanding debts and taxes from the proceeds of the estate;
  • distribute money and assets of the estate to those who are named in the will as being entitled to it; and
  • make sure that all the properties of the estate are maintained in a safe and secure manner – through the appropriate home insurance for executors – as soon as possible after the death.

Why do you need specialist home insurance for executors?

An executor is given the right to deal with the deceased’s estate through a legal process known as probate.

Like many legal matters, probate may be complicated, especially when it comes to fulfilling your duty to make sure that all the property remains safe and secure. To make matters still more complicated, the property which needs the safety of home insurance may well have been left unoccupied since the deceased’s death.

In that case, although there may have been regular home building and contents insurance in place, this is likely to have expired – or become seriously restricted – once the property has been empty for 30 to 45 consecutive days (the exact interval depends on the terms of the existing home insurance policy which typically varies from provider to provider).

Specialist house insurance during probate gives you the confidence and security that property remains safely covered during the whole period – even when it is left empty and unoccupied.

This helps you to fulfil your duties as an executor by restoring comprehensive protection of the structure and fabric of the building, together with its contents, against such potentially major risks as storm damage, flooding, fire, impacts (from vehicles or from falling objects), vandalism and theft.
