Policy administration

We’re very sorry to hear about your recent bereavement.

If you’ve lost a loved one who had a Homeprotect policy, get in touch with us and we’ll walk you through the process of cancelling or updating the policy.

You may want to let us know about someone that is not financially responsible for your property but who helps you manage your policy. For example, this might be because English is not your first language, or you are not always available to contact us.

You can add them to your policy as an authorised individual so that they can access your policy information and make the same decisions as you can.

Get in touch with us if you’d like to add an authorised individual to your policy. An authorised individual can only be added to a policy by a current policy holder or an existing authorised individual.

A power of attorney is a legal document that lets you (the ‘donor’) appoint one or more people (known as ‘attorneys’) to help you make decisions or to make decisions for you.

You may choose to do this if you have existing health conditions, or your circumstances have changed. Get in touch with us if you’d like to add a power of attorney to your policy.

You can also find out more about setting up a power of attorney through Citizens Advice.
