Breaking down your insurance policy:
- Declaration Page
- Property identified properly?
- Amount Insured- Home or business adequately insured to value?
- Structure: Can you rebuild it for that amount?
- Contents: Is this enough to replace my belongings?
- Loss of Use/ Business Interruption: Will this amount suffice?
- Additional Insured- other than named insured that insurance benefits extend (IE: Mortgage Company)
- Does this apply or must be amended?

- Do you need additional coverage?
- Values increased?
- Obligations in the event of a claim
- What are my duties and rights?
