Trustee Nomination Form

Important points to consider when choosing a Trustee

Choosing a Trustee is not a task to be taken lightly and is a process which should be carefully thought out. Remember, these people will be responsible for distributing the proceeds of your insurance policies, effectively ensuring the welfare of your loved ones.
The key is in the name: TrusteeThe ideal number of Trustees we recommend is 3. This will ensure there is a casting vote in the event of all Trustee's not being in agreement.To help you make these crucial decisions and kick start the process, we thought you might appreciate a list of factors to consider when deciding on your candidates:Relationship: Trustees should be people you have known for some time and you feel you can rely on completely. You should be confident that your ongoing relationship will continue to stand the test of time.Age: Consider the age of prospective Trustees and how long your plan will be in place for. For example, if you have a 25-year plan, you may not wish to select Trustees who are already in their 50s or 60s.Financial Situation: A good Trustee should be financially stable and competent. It is important for them to be comfortable handling sizeable sums of money. It may also be an idea to consider Trustees with similar family demographics to ensure a greater understanding of your personal circumstances.Location: You may wish to choose Trustees who live close to each other and close to you, as this may make it easier for them to deal with the proceeds should the worst happen.Mindset: The level of responsibility associated with being a Trustee should not be underestimated. Your Trustees should fully understand their role and be completely dependable.Health: Your Trustees should be in good health to ensure they are likely to be fit and well enough to manage your plan proceeds.

Free Credit Score and Report
The UK'S Most Detailed Online Credit Report

When applying for a mortgage, your credit report plays a crucial role in determining your eligibility and choice of lenders. Lenders use your credit history to assess your financial reliability and ability to repay the mortgage. A strong credit report, reflecting a history of timely payments and responsible credit usage, can improve your chances of securing a mortgage with favourable interest rates. Conversely, a poor credit report may lead to higher interest rates or even difficulty in obtaining a mortgage at all.

referred to PRIMIS Mortgage Network. It will then be handled in line with the Formal Complaint process

This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.Request erasure of your personal data.

Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data.

Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.Where you exercise one of your rights, we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to exercise such rights.
