    It depends what you mean by "legal protection".

    So what do you mean?

    Neighbour kicked off boundary dispute, I can't afford to fight it. House insurance doesn't cover it, looking for someone to help me!

    No your credit card could not help with that.
    Credit cards offer some protection for items purchased on the credit card but that is all.

    Any other ideas, he's trying to claim the drive to my house is his. Do any bank accounts offer any household legal protection?

    Get a copy of your title deeds from the land registery.

    Might have something if your bought the house with a credit card.

    What is the problem, if land registry says the land is yours, it will cost you nothing to fight.

    Does your trade union offer you anything?

    Fee paying bank account?

    That said, I'm with the above: See what the land registry documents have got to say.

    Some professional bodies offer a free legal helpline with membership.

    Else consider CAB/law centres. Some law schools do "pro-bono" work.

    Some solicitors will offer a free 30min session. That might be enough to determine the cost of dealing with the issue.

    You couldn't now take out legal protection to cover an event that has already happened.
