Global Indemnity offers 5 insurance products that play a central role in estate planning. Because policy proceeds pass directly to named beneficiaries—bypassing probate entirely—keeping designations current is one of the highest-impact steps policyholders can take.
At Global Indemnity, beneficiary designations are managed by mail and by phone. Accounts can also be linked to trusts through beneficiary designations to keep them out of probate entirely.
Global Indemnity provides specific procedures for both proactive estate planning and filing claims after a death.

Standard homeowner and commercial property forms exclude or sharply limit losses once a building has been vacant, typically after 30 to 60 consecutive days — exactly the situation an executor creates by clearing out a house and listing it. Global Indemnity writes vacancy coverage through VacantExpress (https://vacantexpress.com, (800) 310-3351), operated by J.H. Ferguson & Associates, for property that is vacant, unoccupied, under renovation, or in the process of being sold. The policy can be written in the name of the estate or the trust that holds title. Confirm the vacancy status with the existing carrier before assuming the old policy still responds.
