Total Credits: 3 including 3 CE Credit

Description

Replacement cost ain’t always replacement cost. Yes, I know that is poor English – but the point is, replacement cost isn’t as simple as new stuff for old junk. There are many caveats and limitations to full replacement cost (if there is such a thing). Key concepts that must be understood when property valuation is discussed include: actual cash value (ACV); the broad evidence rule; and indemnification.

 

But what happens if the property limits are too low? Property policies contain a Coinsurance Condition requiring the insured to carry a certain minimum amount of coverage to enjoy full coverage on partial losses. If the insured does not have the requisite limits, they could be penalized.

 

In this session we detail:

  • Key property valuation definitions such as actual cash value, replacement cost, market value, the broad evidence rule, and insurable interest;
  • The various “values” assignable to property;
  • Why replacement cost isn’t really replacement cost;
  • The requirements created by the coinsurance condition;
  • Why coinsurance exists;
  • What would happen if coinsurance didn’t exist;
  • The coinsurance calculation; and
  • Truths about coinsurance.
