Registered keeper has passed away, is named driver still insured?
My father has passed away - he is the registered keeper on his car and my mother is a named driver. Is she still covered?

Karen,
The insurance company with which your mother is insured needs to be informed soon as. I believe that if your mum was a named driver, then your dad must have been the main driver (policyholder). This needs changing now by either making your mum the policyholder or leaving her as a named driver and making someone else the main driver (maybe you?). You will need to send the registration certificate back to DVLA for change of ownership/registered keepet to the vehicle as well.
This is a very hard time for you and your family but these things will need sorting to keep your mother's insurance valid. A few phone calls is what it takes and as long as the necessary authorities have bene informed, then there's nothing to worry about. Please accept my condolence for your loss.
My cousin is a named driver on his dads car insurance policy who has died, is he still insured to drive the car until the policy expires?
