How to Issue

You have 4 options when it comes to issuing legal indemnity insurance with GCS: ‘Online’, ‘Pack’, ‘Bespoke’ and/or ‘Direct’.

If you want to issue one of our legal indemnity insurance policies by yourself and without referring to us then our speedy ‘Online’ system and/or insurance ‘Pack’ is for you – these are collectively known as ‘Instant Issue’. Cover can start immediately.

In addition, our ‘Bespoke’ service is available if you are unable to find the cover you are looking for or if your clients’ risks are more complex. Our ‘Direct’ service is available if you simply wish for us to issue policies, directly from our office.

A full colour copy of the relevant IPID and specimen policy must be provided to your client, either by hard copy in the post or attachments to an email. Copies of the IPID and specimen policy can be obtained from your GCS Online account or from our website, www.gcs-title.co.uk.
