Frequently Asked Questions

Standard home insurance policies have time limits for unoccupied properties (usually 30-60 days). During probate, your house might be empty for longer, increasing the risk of damage from leaks, pests, or break-ins. Probate home insurance offers specialised coverage and protects your financial liability while the estate settles.

Typically, the executor of the deceased’s estate is responsible for arranging appropriate insurance coverage for the unoccupied property. This ensures the asset is protected while in their care and meets their legal obligation to safeguard the estate.

 

Our probate home insurance covers potential issues like water damage from broken pipes, fire damage, theft, vandalism, and even storm damage. Intelligent Insurance provides insurance cover tailored to your specific circumstances. Call one of our experts for detailed information.

The cost of probate home insurance depends on several factors, including the size and location of the property, the length of coverage needed, and the specific risks you want to cover. We offer flexible plans and competitive rates to meet your individual needs and budget. You can obtain a free quote online in just a few minutes.
