Homeowners Policies & Jewelry

After receiving valuable jewelry, it's important to contact an insurance agent immediately. It's important to keep in mind that most homeowners policies place limitations on coverage for personal valuable items. This means that owners of these valuable items may not receive the full value if any of the items are stolen or lost. As a general rule, most homeowners policies provide coverage for possessions up to 50 percent of the total coverage amount chosen. This means that a person who has a $600,000 policy would enjoy coverage as much as $300,000.

However, most policies place limitations on certain types of personal belongings. For example, a policy provider may offer to cover $1,500 or more for all jewelry if theft occurs or the jewelry is damaged. There are several other categories of personal belongings that have limited reimbursement terms. Firearms, stamps, furs, coins and silverware are examples of such items. Homeowners should be sure to read the section of their homeowners policies regarding contents and additional coverage. It's important to remember that accidental loss is not usually covered. This means that a woman who loses her engagement ring will not receive payment from the homeowners insurance company.

Homeowners who want to raise their coverage limit to ensure protection for loss and theft cases should contact an agent immediately. It's best to ask the agent to schedule the particular jewelry item or add a special rider to an existing policy. In some cases, a written appraisal may be required, so it's best to ask an agent if this will be necessary. Usually a detailed receipt is sufficient proof for the value of the item. After a value schedule is assigned to the item, the owner has full protection for the total amount if the item is lost, destroyed or stolen. This makes the claims experience more simple since there isn't a need for an investigation about the item's value. In addition to this, there is no deductible assigned to the items.

Since additional coverage is so affordable, it's best for all homeowners who have valuable jewelry or other special items to speak with their agent. Agents are able to make an assessment of what should be insured and provide valuable advice. As a general rule, homeowners policies don't assign specific limits on electronic devices aside from the overall limit for possessions. It's best for homeowners to insure their valuable items in such a way as to ensure that replacement-value coverage is in place.

To learn more about the various types of riders and affordable coverage options, contact an agent today.  A qualified insurance representative at Partners Insurance Agency 352-332-0180 would be happy to assist by providing coverage options and an insurance quote to meet your need. Or you may wish to fill out a quote request online at http://www.myinsurancepartner.com/ and one of our representatives will contact you with the quote.
