Trustee support

Insurance decisions trustees should not leave to renewal week.

Trustees are expected to make practical, informed decisions for the body corporate. We help convert the policy wording, schedule, claims history and renewal terms into clear questions and action points.

  • Review whether the buildings and common property are insured on a sensible replacement-value basis.
  • Check geyser, water damage, storm, power surge and liability excesses before owners are surprised by a claim.
  • Review fidelity cover, trustee indemnity and public liability in the context of the scheme’s actual risk.
  • Prepare renewal questions for trustees, managing agents or AGM discussion.
  • Help with claim reporting documents, owner communication and claim follow-up.
