Executors Liability Insurance

Liability insurance to protect non-professional executors.

More and more people are becoming non-professional executors, to carry out the last wishes, laid out in a will, for a family member or friend, but few people realise that in accepting the role, they become personally exposed to unlimited liability.

Even very simple wills can have hidden problems and the law regulating the administration of estates is complex. While many executors are acting in an amateur capacity the role imposes serious legal responsibility and unlimited personal liability. This can leave an executor vulnerable to legal action and claims by beneficiaries, estate creditors, probate, and tax officials.
