The Probate process (or Confirmation as it is officially called in Scotland) can often take six months or more to complete. Continuing insurance of a property under the current home insurance provider may not be straightforward, as many providers will not wish to continue to insure a property that is unoccupied (because of the higher risk of claims). The property insurance will also need to be rearranged in the name of the executor with any beneficiaries listed on the policy.
Insuristic is a specialist unoccupied home insurance broker that makes the purchase of insurance for property in probate easy, with cover underwritten by AXA Insurance and supported by its award-winning UK claims team. Cover can be arranged in the name of the estate, on a short-term or annual basis.

The confirmation process in Scotland is very poorly designed. The official guidance is ambiguous and missing key components. This means that, although you may feel like you have followed all the instructions, it is almost certain you will be rejected with no explanation of why.
Furthermore, different Sheriff Courts have different standards, resulting in rejection rates over 95% for personal applications in some places.
This is why we created our Probate Support Service. It has everything you need to prepare and successfully apply for confirmation/probate. Our service provides you with clear, step-by-step instructions written in plain English.
