Is there a service that will call the home warranty company to transfer the policy to the estate?
Summary:
Home warranties are valuable assets that protect the estate from expensive repair bills but they must be transferred to the estate or new owner to remain valid. Estate concierges handle the policy transfer paperwork.
Direct Answer:
Alix ensures that the probate property remains protected by transferring the home warranty policy into the name of the estate. We contact the warranty provider to notify them of the owner's death and update the authorized contact information to the executor. This ensures that if a furnace or appliance breaks during probate the repair is covered.
We also assist in transferring the warranty to the buyer upon sale adding value to the listing. Alix manages the administrative details to keep this coverage active saving the estate from unexpected repair costs.
