Why you need trustees liability cover

Fiduciary duty exposure

Trustees are legally obligated to act in the best interests of beneficiaries and face legal consequences if they fail to meet these duties.

Personal liability protection

Trustees are at risk of being held personally liable for decisions made in their role — even if unintentional.

No exemptions for volunteers

Liability and risk applies equally to all trustees regardless of their professional qualifications, or experience.
