Probate Pro

We know how busy probate and estate administration specialists are.

Advising your clients on the need for insurance, sourcing quotes, and arranging cover can be time-consuming, particularly if the property isn’t in good repair, is listed, or has other features that make arranging insurance more complex.

But even for straightforward properties, arranging insurance takes up too much time.  And when you have placed insurance, are you confident that the policy won’t catch anyone out, meaning a claim might not be paid and all the problems that go with that?

Sometimes, extending the existing insurance arranged by the deceased might seem easier, but that can cause issues if the cover is reduced or conditions that are difficult to comply with are applied.  After all, any underinsurance could result in a Professional Indemnity Insurance claim for your firm.

In addition, you must ensure that common conditions like water system drain-downs and inspections are implemented and complied with.

If there is a claim, this, too, can suck up a lot of your time.  Preparing a claim, contacting, and chasing insurers to get a fair settlement for your client keeps you from valuable legal work.

But there is an easier way that can instantly streamline how you provide insurance and free up your team’s time.

Insuristic has developed Probate Pro to resolve these issues for you and your busy team instantly.

Instead of spending hours sourcing quotes and checking policy coverage, you can arrange cover in two minutes or less with Insuristic.

Probate Pro has been purposely designed to help law firms provide better insurance coverage for their clients, with minimal questions to answer and cover that is unlikely to catch you out.

Here are some of the benefits of using Probate Pro:

If you want to find out more, why not arrange a meeting?

To use Probate Pro, you must sign a terms of business agreement with Insuristic and commit to insuring a minimum of 50 policies a year, or if that is unachievable, a commit to use Insuristic exclusively.

In return, each member of your team will receive access to our secure online portal, where you can get quotes and issue policies.

You can also run reports to see outstanding quotes and ensure all the policies you need are on cover, as well as live policies, cancellations, and lapses.  

Paying for policies is also easy. You don’t need to pay immediately to issue cover. Instead, you will receive an account statement for settlement each month.

Suppose a property has features that require referral to the underwriter, such as the rebuild value is higher than £750,000, it's in a poor state of repair, in a flood area or has non-standard features. In that case, you will have the full support of our FCA principals’ insurance broking team at SJL Insurance.

SJL Insurance will source quotations from several leading insurance providers on your behalf, provide advice, and recommend which policy to choose to ensure you and your clients have appropriate insurance cover. This will save your team a lot of time.

In addition, if the estate has other property insurance requirements, such as it is occupied or tenanted, our SJL Insurance team can help source appropriate cover.

If there is a claim, you can relax.

You will have full access to our dedicated claims team at SJL Insurance.  Your claims account managers will provide advice, help you prepare the claim, arrange any loss adjuster surveys and negotiate a fair settlement with insurers.

We know arranging legal indemnity insurance during probate can also suck up a lot of your time, and it can be challenging to offer this cover to all of your clients to protect your PI.
