The Blackburn Assurance Company - who are they ???

My Mother in Law recently passed away and we have a policy that her parents paid into that is with a company THE BLACKBURN ASSURANCE COMPANY located Dale Street Liverpool.

I cannot find them on the net and wondered if anyone knew if they had been taken over by anyone ?????????????

    Short version - Blackburn became part of Swiss Life which in turn was integrated into Resolution

    Longer version and info here:

    And website for Phoenix (which is now the Group you are looking for) is here:

  • Hi, I'm looking for some guidance please?

    We have just found a policy of my grandma's with the BACL.

    Does anyone know what we do with it? She passed away 2002 and the policy is dated 1955.

    Thank you.

    The Exor of her estate (or the beneficiary if the estate is now otherwise complete) should get a claim form and submit it. You'll certainly need the Death certificate to accompany the claim (also her husband's if he was shown as the beneficiary in the original policy)
    If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !
  • Thank you!
