Hi landc

Im certainly no expert ...but.... if you have a life insurance policy the OR will probably offer you to purchase it for a nominal sum (think its about £50), or you could let that one go and set up a new policy - be careful doing this as some new policies only pay out after the first 12 months.

In my case i have two and would like to keep them, therefore i will pay the amount and be able to keep them - i personally dont want to run the risk of needing it in the first year.

Hope this helps a little

Hi landc

Welcome!

The life insurance policies as Jenny says can be offered to you for the £50 each providing they have no cashin value if they do then the OR will technically cash them in to release the monies for the benefit of your creditors.

If the policies are only payable on death then the £50 offer would stand, you can of course let them lapse and start again.

There is a piece of life insurance in my blog, its goes into a little more detail on what to expect.
