Here's how to make sure you caaftiKpttoiV sJlr
home is worth in the event of a devastating fire:
from a burning building: sit down
insurance policy and read it from beginning to end.
Discuss any terms you don't understand with an attorney.
Then ? only after you're already pretty sure what
the policy says and have enough knowledge to detect fast
talking - discuss the policy with your insurance agent.
Find out precisely what your insurance will and will not
do. Some home policies will pay only the current market
value of your possessions - that is, their depreciated
value - and not the actual cost of preplacing them. Some
policies must be detiverately updated to keep pace with
your home's inflating value, while others do this
I automatically. And some policies will pay the cost of
rebuilding your home - often higher than the building's
market value ~ while others won't.
