Why You Need Homeowners Insurance in Today"s World
Many people that own their homes outright don't understand why they should still have insurance.
This is a good thing to debate when you think about it.
If you have spent all that money buying a home over the years, then why once you pay it off should you have to have insurance if you don't want it? Well, most people forget that insurance policies are meant to cover the loss of the property and the legal responsibility you have when you own a home.
Most people forget the second part of this, or just don't even know it exists.
This particular kind of insurance on the policy can cover injuries to you or anyone else that was in the house when a disaster happened.
This can also cover additional medical expenses that you may have, and additional living coverage that you have in case you have to vacate your home and stay elsewhere.
Many people have had to live in a hotel while their house was being completely rebuilt.
This can happen due to a fire or natural disaster, such as a tornado or hurricane.
There are 2 different types of homeowner's insurance coverage.
They are whets known as all risk or named peril coverage.
An all risk policy assumes all responsibility in the case of a disaster or accident.
The named peril coverage only covers what is listed in black and while.
Therefore, it may cover the cost of rebuilding the home, but not the cost of your living expenses while the home is being rebuilt.
You will want to ask these questions when you are getting a policy and make sure you and your family are covered.
There is also the deductable that you are going to want to choose.
This will usually be $500 or $1000 for a home.
There are higher ones, but these are the most common.
What this allows you to do is if something happens, all you are responsible for is the deductable.
The trick is the lower the deductable you choose for your policy, the higher the policy is.
It is usually not that much higher in cost though.
It is up to you to decide which is best for you.
