home insurance UK rental, UK probate
hi all
I have questions about UK when a parent passes and the house comes to you.
I am in Canada and I am the executor, I intend to rent out the UK home, but I see that probate can take 9 months even if you do it online. So I won't be in UK for that length of time, how do I insure an empty house? I don't want to rent out until title has passed to my name.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

I've no first hand experience but a google search threw up several companies offering specialist policies.
