Can anyone tell me if a car insurance policy is still valid if the insured person has passed away? Can a named driver continue to drive the car for the time being?
No. Not without ringing insurers to advise them of same. and that the policy should be transferred in the name of "the repst of the late..........." if that is the case.
If they insist on cancelling the policy, ask them to transfer the earner no claim bonus to their partner or named driver. We have often requested this over the years and they will usually do it.
