Estate Protect — Probate Indemnity Made Simple for Solicitors

We know how busy probate and estate administration specialists are.
As a solicitor, you’re expected to identify potential estate risks, advise executors appropriately, and complete distributions efficiently, all while safeguarding your firm against PI exposure. Yet sourcing suitable legal indemnity cover can be time-consuming and costly, often resulting in low take-up and unnecessary time spent by your team.

We understand your challenges

The market for probate legal indemnity insurance cover is limited and is often expensive, resulting in a low take-up rate with estates and thus wasting your time.

Getting a quote is often a manual process that can leave you waiting days or even weeks, especially when Missing Beneficiary Insurance is involved.

Some policies cap claims after ten years or carry an excess, so the file can never truly be closed.

Offering cover to every client is time-consuming and often impractical, despite the professional indemnity risk of not doing so.

There’s a faster, simpler way to protect every estate you manage — enhancing your client proposition while safeguarding your PI.

The Solution: Estate Protect

Estate Protect is our solicitor-designed indemnity insurance that provides comprehensive protection for executors, administrators, and their advisers — all arranged in minutes through your Insuristic portal.

It covers the four key risks in one straightforward policy:

Missing Beneficiary Insurance

Missing Will Insurance

Early Distribution Insurance

Section 27 Insurance

Key Benefits of our policy

For estates up to £3 million — with higher-value or complex cases also considered.

One policy with cover that runs in perpetuity

No excess — nothing to pay in the event of a claim.

30% lower pricing vs. our Direct product, and significantly less than a lay client could buy themselves.

Additional Cost Savings

No Section 27 notice or local newspaper placement required when Section 27 Insurance is included.

Simplified genealogy for Missing Beneficiary cover — for estates under £350,000, only a verified family tree (three generations) is needed that confirms there are no known issues; no formal genealogist report required.

How does it work?

1. Log in

You can view your own cases as well as those created by your team.

2. Get a quote

For estates with no known issues there are very few questions to answer and quotes are provided in seconds.

3. Choose cover

You can compare prices and amend your cover choices in seconds.

4. Issue cover

Policy documents are generated immediately, with payment on account.

That’s it — permanent cover secured.

There’s no renewal, expiry, or follow-up admin required.  In the event of a claim, the underwriter deals with everything so you can safely close the file.

Support For The Complex Cases

Insuristic has arranged cover for many complex estates in recent years, insuring tens of thousands of pounds in premiums.

If you’re managing a case that exceeds £3 million, or one involving known issues such as untraceable beneficiaries or excluded individuals, we can help you find a suitable solution.

Your portal also includes a dedicated Complex Estate Administration Insurance quote journey, designed to collect the information we need to secure the right cover for the estate.

We regularly arrange cover for complex cases in a day or two, not weeks or months like many other providers.

Examples of complex cases we have placed:

  • An £8m intestate estate that needed a combined Missing Beneficiary, Missing Will, Early Distribution and Section 27 Insurance policy.  We were the only quote the market returned.
  • A £3m estate with a known excluded dependent.
  • A £5m intestate estate that needed a combined policy.
  • A £1.5m intestate estate with a known missing beneficiary.

There are plenty of other examples; in fact, we have placed our insurer partner's largest-ever case three times now.
