Can I counsel an existing client in another province or state?
Check professional permission and insurance acceptance for the client’s actual location. Existing familiarity with the client does not resolve territory or jurisdiction conditions.
What is a retroactive date?
In relevant claims-made wording, it helps define the period of prior work that may be considered. Ask how it interacts with notification duties, exclusions and any reporting extension.
Does retirement end the insurance conversation?
Not necessarily. Ask about later allegations, prior-work protection, reporting duties and record arrangements before cancelling or ending a professional protection arrangement.
Does sending an enquiry buy insurance?
No. It asks the network team to respond. Only a suitable provider can confirm an offer, acceptance and the effective insurance arrangement.
Can I enquire from Canada or the United States?
Choose your actual country and province, state or territory. Provider availability and eligibility depend on the market; sending an enquiry does not establish acceptance.
What should I leave out of the form?
Leave out medical records, government IDs, payment details and policy documents. Share general needs here; use a provider’s secure process if sensitive records are later required.
