Executor Insurance helps protect you against the risks that arise when managing an estate.
At Insuristic, we make it simple for executors, administrators, and solicitors to arrange specialist cover in minutes.
On this page, you’ll find links to the main types of Executor Insurance, from protecting probate property to insuring against legal liabilities, along with guides and resources to help you understand your risks and choose the right policy.
If you’ve been asked to act as an executor (or administrator if there’s no will), you’ve taken on an important legal role. Alongside managing the estate, you also carry personal responsibilities, and if something goes wrong, you could be held financially liable.
Some of the most common risks include:
If uninsured, these risks could leave you facing significant financial losses. A comprehensive range of Executor Insurance policies can protect you, other parties involved in administering the estate, and the beneficiaries, giving peace of mind that unexpected problems won’t become your financial burden.

As an executor or administrator, you can be personally liable for defending claims and covering losses if you don’t have Probate Insurance, even when the claim is made against the estate, not directly against you.
Contentious probate isn’t limited to courtroom battles; it often begins with disagreements over who inherits, how the estate is handled, or whether the Will is valid.
These situations may involve someone being left out of the Will, a dispute over how much someone should receive, concerns about how the Will was created, or confusion when no Will exists. Claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 are particularly common.
Such disputes can delay the probate process, increase costs, and expose executors to personal liability. It’s far better to identify and address potential risks early, before they escalate.
They’ll assess your situation, confirm whether a claim is unlikely (which may help you qualify for Early Distribution Insurance), or provide expert guidance on how to protect both yourself and the estate from risk.
