    Hi,

    I have an LL insurance with terry sheer where I provided the name of PM while arranging the quote. Now I am in the process of changing the PM, do I need to update the insurance as well?

    Thanks

    Always best to, yes. Insurers will use anything to wriggle out of paying out on a claim. Don't let "you didn't tell us of your new PM" to be one such excuse.

    I'm not sure whether it is an actual requirement with them, but certainly not a bad idea. The bigger issue with TS policies is if you were changing to self manage the policy, as the policy terms change completely. In your case however it shouldn't present any problem. We would always like to know changes to management arrangements for invoicing etc. and in the case of a claim, but it's certainly not something that would ever be used to get out of paying a claim (speaking for EBM that is).
